I don't quite know how I got to this blog, but gotta admit I found most of the comments powerfully fuelled (and only the writer could answer 'with what'). I'm an inspired student of life and those teachers who have grown (up) enough to be uplifters of others! Abraham are one of the most powerful uplifting teachers on the planet - but so are you! Whether you find what Abraham is sharing through Esther Hicks, someone else - or within yourself, (preferable). you will find the message is the same. What amuses me profoundly in reading the above - as in ROFLMO - are the people on this planet that have a choice of finding what's good in something .. or what's bad in something (in their perception), go ahead and choose the bad end of the stick! ;-) Quite unbelievable! It's called "Momentum". As you think - so it is. Surely you must have worked out by now that if you are thinking about something long enough .. (or blogging about it) .. it creates its own momentum (for you)? I guess one would have to believe that you create your own reality - thought by thought to get that. Mind you, I'm thinking that maybe everyone got that - as it has stopped. Namaste great souls! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-22415817782471197632013-08-16T08:28:33.735-04:002013-08-16T08:28:33.735-04:00Hi, I just want to say I was really into the Abrah...Hi, I just want to say I was really into the Abraham Hicks thing for a while. I bought their books and watched many clips on youtube and bought the Secret movie and book. I grew disenchanted when I bought one of Esther's books for children. I was going to give it to my granddaughter. The book's main premise was that as long as the protagonist believed she was safe, she could do anything. I thought that was a dangerous concept for a kid because Esther took it to ridiculous lengths. <br />She teaches through Abraham that the setting of limits on children is constraining them. While I believe in encouraging creativity and thought, I do believe that parents should teach their children how to be disciplined people and this in turn will help them make better decisions and help them reach their goals. <br />Her growing meanness with her hotseat participants was a turn off too. <br />You are right to point out contradictions and Abraham's evolving history and plagiarism. <br />I do still sort of believe in a Law of Attraction. I just think there are other laws that need to be considered as well. I have had times in my life, when I felt my mental state created outcomes in line with what state I was in. There is something real about it and people feel that. It is closely related to another idea: the mind over matter thing. I enjoyed reading Michael Talbot's book The Holographic Universe. He talked a lot about the science of a conscious universe. Then he goes and dies of leukemia at a very young age. He seemed very sincere, though, and I find it hard to believe he was just a snake oil salesman.<br />I don't think people should throw out the baby with the bathwater...completely dismiss the Law of Attraction or what ever you want to call it...but to be reasonable about it.<br />Our bodies wear out, we get sick, accidents happen. Kids should be taught how to be safe. On the other hand, it has been proven that our mental state and emotions do affect our health and that nocebo and placebo effects: beliefs do affect our health as well.<br />Our prosperity is also affected by our beliefs about our situation and about money and about wealth or lack of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't negate the fact that most wealth comes about through hard work and good ideas. The Napoleon Hill book makes that very clear. I think people got to remember that reasonableness and balance are very important.

I think there are many channels out there who if you actually research them, you'd be hard pressed to prove they were fake, when they know things about you that they couldn't have known otherwise.<br /><br />Abraham/Esther have shown none of this. Not that they have to. There are plenty of channels who present information that is never individual, but more general. But I do find the idea that they tried to patent the term 'law of attraction' a huge minus to their authenticity.<br /><br />I have read so many channelings and so many new age texts in the last 20 years, I'm pretty sure I too could stand up there and say all this. It's not that hard if you have the kind of mind that thinks quickly.<br /><br />On the other hand, I really do believe a lot of what Abraham/Esther says. I just think it's quite possible that it's gleaned from memory rather than anything else. However ultimately my jury is out on the matter. Not sure one way or the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-54147470640389811262013-02-13T11:32:11.611-05:002013-02-13T11:32:11.611-05:00Anyone with a gift for improvisation could do it. ...Anyone with a gift for improvisation could do it.

Their experience with Abraham alone is testimony that their vibrations serve them well. The fact that Jerry and eventually Esther had some exposure to these principles which eventually was their's to hold should be a good example for us. I tend to be skeptical about what I listen to, having studied the Bible for several years. But certain explanations that were given makes total sense and harmonizes with Biblical teachings. The fact that they could have built such an empire from their teacings/scams or whatever the critics call it, should be road for us to follow. I have only recently found out about this whole Abraham Hicks things and quite frankly I am thrilled about it. One of the major things I enjoy with applying this principle to my life is that it give me confidence knowing that the power is within me. If it is that they have been sucessfully wealthy because of their teachings, well so be it. I would take example from them and try to build an Empire as well, after all who would want to live a depressed life full of sickness and poverty when there is a choice. I am certainly tired of seeing it all around me. All in all there is a God/Source that we have to be accounted to and if our conscience works well we know theirs works well also. So I am now going to get back into my Vortex after reading all the negative stuff because I need to have some things happen in my life that I am looking forward to. We all have individual minds and the ability to choose.......just remember that.<br />Thank You Faye<br />Sue Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-51881224364262900662012-09-23T08:28:30.806-04:002012-09-23T08:28:30.806-04:00Hey Anonymous,

Is all this time and effort you're putting into your blog worth some sort of pay-off? perhaps you feel superior by trying to prove others wrong?? You're motivated by something. Rather than examine the lives and statements of others - take a good hard look at what's driving you. I'd venture a guess at jealously, frustration with your own life and therefore annoyance at those who speak of a life of ease, jealously of those who have made money (what business of yours is it how other people make their money). Basically - why are you so caught up on other people's lives, what they say and do. Perfect your own existence - the rest of the world's is none of yours.

Of course Truth, is each individuals perception based on where they've been and what they've encountered along the way. Now, whether or not LOA is new or old, or whether Esther and Jerry are piggybacking off of previous research of others or if Abraham is channeled or not, is not as important as whether LOA is True to each individual and if it helps them to become all they want to be.<br /><br />Bottom line is this, in my humble "opinion". It should not matter whether or not something is real, new or old. What does matter is that it impacts you in a way that makes YOU feel good about YOURSELF and who YOU are, regardless of how this TRUTH was delivered to YOU. Others opinions is of no consequence because only YOU can decide what's right for YOU. You can go left, right, up, down, forward or backwards. Be straight, gay, celibate or promiscuous. That's the wonderful thing about "FREE WILL". YOU choose your own path in life. <br /><br />If you haven't realized it by now, life is about YOUR journey and how YOU decide to live YOUR life, and the opinions of others should not matter to YOU since YOU have to live with the consequences of your actions and beliefs.<br /><br />I believe their teaching to be uplifting and relevant in MY life. I personally, am not concerned with who created basketball. I just know that it makes me feel good when I play the game. So instead of squabbling over who invented the game or what the original rules were by its inventor, play the game if you want to or not, and stop bitching about how the game came to be. If it's fun and works for you, than that's all that matters, isn't it?<br /><br />If that does not make sense, then look at it this way. Generic Medication is the same as the one originally invented Name Brand Medication. The only difference is the name of the prescription. It still does the same thing, make you feel better. Nothing is new under the sun, it's just packaged differently and given a different name.<br /><br />Create Your Own World and let others Create Theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-63887914661745423672012-09-12T17:13:29.712-04:002012-09-12T17:13:29.712-04:00I agree 100%!!I agree 100%!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-75690709024011349962012-08-13T05:42:40.131-04:002012-08-13T05:42:40.131-04:00It's more evidence of the scam of Abraham.

As with all things, so-called "spirituality" can be distorted and misused for other purposes or it can be purely accessed for the higher good of all. (For an "as with all things" example, fire can burn the man or cook the meal depending on its application... but at the end of the day, fire is just fire.) I appreciate the frank and open conversation here. And I ask myself the question: Am I willing to know these things (that people have and do "use" God and sprit for personal and/or Egoic gain), and still remain open to the potential of spirit for good in my way of knowing and in my life?

It’s taken from the Denver workshop Sept 3, 2011.<br /><br />Kimberley,there was another child rearing question. This young mother asked advice about her 3 year old who doesn't want to share his toys and kicks the cat because of his behavior she was out of the vortex<br /><br />She asked about her kid not sharing toys, and how can she stay ITV while he does. So Abe explained that the kid was being in alignment, enjoying his toy AND "much like Jesus - not freaking out about the toylessness of his friends" <br /><br />She also asked about him kicking the cat, and of course they said that was between him and the cat, and that the cat will teach him. <br /><br /><br />We discussed this at Dave’s blog (not to be confused with David Gordon owner of the Abe Forum). Dave’s comment on the jesus part was<br /><br />"Since when wasn't Jesus most salient characteristic his kindness and empathy toward the have nots?”<br /><br />So sure, Abe sells used thought but they are coming up with innovate new ideas. Not anywhere else do I see jesus portrayed as not giving a wit about the toyless.<br /><br />And encouraging the mom to let her child kick the kitty, can’t find that either in any esoteric material so Kyra you need to cut Abe some slack.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this topic up Sandy.
