Is Esther Hicks a Hypocrite?
What I don’t understand here is how someone can teach a ‘Law’ and in the same breath talk as if it doesn’t apply to themselves. Esther Hicks got edited out of ‘The Secret‘ DVD which apparently caused her some hardship. This is the same woman who teaches that we attract everything in our experience - absolutely everything, no exceptions through the Law of Attraction. Firstly, for those who aren’t familiar with Esther Hicks, she’s the gal who claims to channel for a group of non-physical beings who call themselves “Abraham“. Okay, with that stated please watch the clip at the link below (sorry it’s not embeddable apparently).
Esther Hicks / Abraham talks about being left out of ‘The Secret’
Video Analysis
Just after the 4 minute mark, Esther / Abraham talks about the reason they were edited out of the documentary. It seems that Jerry and Esther would rather have held onto their Intellectual Property Rights and be edited out of ‘The Secret‘ rather than give them to Rhonda Byrne (Producer of ‘The Secret‘). This would allow Rhonda to market the movie in the manner she thought best. I think that’s fair for both parties and Esther answers the question in a dignified manner.
A Different Tone
Fast forward to 6 minutes 30 seconds, Esther / Abraham says, “What she did was not nice”. She, of course, is Rhonda Byrne. I don’t get it, didn’t Jerry and Esther attract this? If their version of the Law of Attraction is the correct one then they did attract this event into their experience and they, like they advise us, should take responsibility for it. From this point in the video onwards, it seems the claws come out.
Esther says that Rhonda and her team have, once again, suppressed knowledge from the people instead of liberating them with the power of the Law of Attraction. This is because they have ‘left the non-physical part out.’ The non-physical part of ‘The Secret‘ is, of course, Abraham so Esther is saying that without Abraham people are ‘without guidance’ as to how to ‘deliberately create.’
I don’t agree with that. Plenty of people have completely changed their lives by applying the teachings of someone like Tony Robbins, with no notion of how they were ‘vibrating.’ They simply set goals and worked to achieve them. Was the Law of Attraction lining things up for them behind the scenes? Very possibly, I believe in the Law of Attraction but I also know that you don’t need to have ever heard of it for it to work. I guess that’s why they call it a Law, it’s functioning whether you are conscious of it or not -a bit like gravity.
Conclusion
Listen to the rest of the video yourself and draw your own conclusion. It appears to me that from 6.30 Esther / Abraham are speaking as a ‘Victim’ i.e. something happened to Esther. I thought she taught people that nothing could come into their experience unless they were in ‘Vibrational Harmony‘ with it. Perhaps there’s something I’m not getting, if you know what it is please comment below. Maybe Esther’s for real, maybe she’s a big phony. I don’t know for sure but from this video I can see why it would be very easy to draw the conclusion that all is not what it seems.
EXTRA! Just noticed this as I was about to publish. In the video Esther is ‘channeling’ Abraham. When Abraham is speaking, he/she/it/they always refer to Esther in the third person i.e. ’she’ and to Jerry and Esther as ‘they’. In this clip I think ‘Abraham‘ makes a mistake. Go to 4 minutes 20 seconds in the clip. Abraham is successfully referring to Jerry and Esther as ‘they’ but all of a sudden says ‘..turn over our property rights’. Perhaps Abraham was taking a cut of the spoils too, he certainly deserves it for all the talks he gives. If Esther wasn’t sending royalty checks to Abraham vibrationally then what just happened? Who knows for sure but I won’t be rushing out to by her next book or attend a workshop.
