I really have no problems with anyone's take on the situation, but it seems to me that if you want the A-H organization to be a "greedy, plagiarizing, business entity", then that's what you'll get.

I came across Abe-Hicks a few months ago. Notwithstanding some of the more seemingly controversial issues here, I think the core message of personal emotional accountability being communicated by whoever is "speaking", is a good one. <br /><br />Not saying any of the teachings originated with Abe-Hicks or that I know the origin for sure of any teaching for that matter. Much of the things I have heard said, I have read or gained insight into prior to my exposure to Abe-Hicks. <br /><br />My main point is that "truth" is a personally arrived at state of mind or being. We all have our opinions and reasons for them. Just speaking for myself, what I try to do with all teachings is, listen to what is being said, consider it and bounce it off of my own internal guidance. I was doing that long before I heard of Esther and Jerry Hicks.<br /><br />I have not and most likely will not spend any money on Abe-Hicks. Just listened to YouTube stuff. Would I have even heard of them if not for YouTube? Probably not. Would it have mattered? Probably not. <br /><br />The truths that I do glean from the teachings, I do consider to be universal and were being taught long before any of us were around. We are all human and I believe interconnected with an energy we call by many names. But do any of us really understand who the heck we are? <br /><br />I figure the best I can do is be as honest with myself as I can and work from there. That approach helped me to work through my addictions and come out with a much more peaceful feeling about myself and life. Abe-Hicks had nothing to do with that, yet some of the truths that they do pass along (in their way of doing it) were involved. These truths do not belong to Abe-Hicks, but perhaps their way of stating them does. <br /><br />a truly grateful and blessed man<br />ScottScotthttp://bravingourselves.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-40463082060760713882012-06-26T12:33:37.469-04:002012-06-26T12:33:37.469-04:00(continued)About 10 years ago, when I first found ...(continued)About 10 years ago, when I first found Abraham, and was learning to make websites, I had one with my "teachers" on it. Like a page for each, with some examples and links. I had Abraham on one, and got the idea I'd like to put quotes and "used with permission by" and the link to their website. THIS MIGHT ALSO CREATE MORE BUSINESS FOR THEM IF SOMEONE CLICKED ON IT (who might not have known aobut it before) I emailed and asked them about this. It said at the time the material could only be "used with permission". Though at the time there were groups, websites, discussion boards, etc that were posting much Abraham stuff, and didn't seem to have permission. I asked if I could put a few quotes on a webpage, said I am NOT making any money from this, and will put the link to their home page. Just wanted to write on it "used with permission by...". I got back an email from somenoe named Tracy (not sure if it was Esther's daughter, if she ever worked for them) saying they had to send me a packet about copyright I had to agree to. Okay, sign a paper or something. What I got was legal papers, they said I had to tell them exactly what I wanted to quote, and they had to approve of it, and possible charge me money for using it. And, if I didn't go by this (strictly) they would take legal action against me! All I wanted to do was put a few Abraham quotes, and tell about them, with links, or a homemade website page! At the time I took down what I had and posted a copy of the long letter about the legal stuff (on the web page) Like "I wanted to have a page about Abraham, with quotes and links, and asked for permission- something most people arrarently didn't do, and got this in return. So much for sharing the knowledge and expanding!" I was turned off Abraham teachings at the time, but later got back into it, because it DOES seem to work and makes sense. I don't think it's a hoax, like some do, I have found websites telling about it, like Esther is possessed by demons, or it's a hoax Jerry (the businessman, con artist) got going with his wife. But it makes sense to me, so that's what matters. <br /> I once asked about this, the copyright stuff, and how does that fit with Abraham saying it's alway negative to sue someone, and resist, etc. (there's a story about someone who complains her husband has an ex wife that takes half his money and Abraham says "we with he had 10 ex wives! That would draw more money through him") and people got so mad at me I left the group. Like Jerry and Esther OWN the material and have a right to keep people from stealing it, etc. Today, I don't feel the same about Abraham and listening to Esther speaking for them. It seems like it's all a lie, if A-H company is now doing this. On a witch hunt looking for and shutting down places that are sharing the material. And it's never going to stop it anyway, people who want to share it will find a way. I put in Abraham-Hicks workshops in Google last night and was getting notes FROM Google that they had removed links because they were told to because of copyright infringement. <br /> Maybe Esther does have enough money now and doesn't care (at this point) what people think, feel and believe. I guess that is part of the message from Abe, anyway. Do your own thing and who cares about anyone else. And, for me, I have heard enough Abe for the past 10 or so years if I don't know if by now, more YouTubes and workshops aren't going to help. Overall, it seems to have changed now that Jerry isn't running it (directly). He used to give those lines about it being copyrighted at the start of tapes, but I don't remmeber him going after people who didn't follow it. My first Abe tapes were sent to me (copies) from someone on a group, and they were copied and passed around all the time. SHARED. Isn't that part of the mesage, too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-46535621373585905632012-06-26T12:32:49.020-04:002012-06-26T12:32:49.020-04:00Haven't had time to read all the comments, but...Haven't had time to read all the comments, but I have noticed this too (the sites being shut down, threats of court and legal action, etc) This goes against what Abraham has said about negative energy, resisting something, and actually outright SAID that suing people, taking legal action creates more negative energy than what one might "gain" is worth. And what about "our prime purpose" is to expand and share/spread this knowledge to as many as possible, as in expansion of energy, etc?<br /> To me, I am starting to feel like "maybe it really is just a BUSINESS" and I know A-H (as a business) does have expenses, but "doesn't Esther have enough money at this point?" I thought now that Jerry was gone, Esther was more lax about the business side of it and willing to share, as it was passed around. Do you think maybe Jerry took care of the business side of it so much Esther doesn't realize this is going on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-41207148449302991122012-05-15T21:19:00.242-04:002012-05-15T21:19:00.242-04:00Esther must be doing something right for you folks...Esther must be doing something right for you folks to continue to give her so much attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-25746319174500659982012-03-03T15:08:46.562-05:002012-03-03T15:08:46.562-05:00I do agree that she IS Abraham.

It is a dangerous situation when people believe they are hearing words of wisdom from infinitely intelligent beings and they are in fact simply made-up-for-scamming ramblings of a woman with a low-to-average intelligence level. <br /><br />If it is ester's goal to have more workshops, webcasts, and the like, it is because she not only wants to draw in more paying followers to pad her pocketbook, but also she wants to redo her garage so her Cadillac Escalade can have a new plush carpet in which to park. <br /><br />In my book, when one tells others that protection is always upstream and then turns around and protects themselves, that is called a hypocrite. A do as I say, not as I do type of person. In ester's case, a scam artist who knows the babble that comes out of her mouth is all BS, so she "ain't gonna" follow it.

People do what they do because they believe it will be of benefit to them. And so, I assume they believe it is good for them to enforce their copyright. Agree or disagree, no point getting ruffled about it.<br /><br />Ultimately, the more money she makes, and the more reach she'll have. There's no right way to spread the message of love.

That doesn't change the fact that enforcing copyright protection, as pointed out in the post, hardly is in line with the teachings that are being presented. Also, based on the teachings, Esther could distribute these materials free and--if she was in alignment with money--she would draw it to herself from some other avenue. She wouldn't need the Abraham materials to pay for themselves.kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231777917185762352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-23953391146103952582012-01-30T05:53:11.995-05:002012-01-30T05:53:11.995-05:00The point being missed here is that it's not t...The point being missed here is that it's not the desire to prevent others from having the information but that it costs money to create the information in the first place. It costs to mount the seminars, pay the venues, pay the staff, create the Cd's and videos,and so on. Why are they expected to distribute this for free? Very few have bottomless pockets and everyone deserves to earn a living from the service they give. A musician can only be a professional if people pay for his/her service, everyone expects music for free these days, guess what, it then becomes impossible to survive just writing songs and playing gigs, there is no food on the table, end of existence and no more material.<br />Why is Abraham any different.Philip Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-37744371187880933412012-01-24T21:50:24.725-05:002012-01-24T21:50:24.725-05:00There is no copyright for source.

The fact that she is apparently going off the rails since her husbands death, only furthers my cultism observation. People attack what they are afraid of, whether it be religious doctrine, or sexuality, or whatever. Ester via Abraham is making a fatal error right now, she is letting her ego override the message she has espoused for so many years, and by letting her ego shine through - she contradicts and/or negates her prior messages. How many messages do you need to negate before you negate it all? She has, in essence, made anyone not buying her kool-aid into an 'infidel' who must be humiliated or brought down at any cost.<br />I am thinking that those who are watching this all unfold will be in for quite a show over the next few months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246377353991411890.post-89077027754061366532012-01-21T13:48:08.157-05:002012-01-21T13:48:08.157-05:00Rachel, I’ve been following the global matrix and ...Rachel, I’ve been following the global matrix and in all my years I’ve never seen this much rebellion. I experienced the Viet Nam protest, which was huge, and watched everyone go back to slumber when the war was over. Wondered if I would ever see any kind of awakening again. I am seeing an awakening now. Ppl are rioting all over the globe. In order for new awareness and systems to take place the old systems will have to come down. Everything as best I can tell is on an implosion track that can’t be stopped. Even just looking at earth there is only so much she can sustain DU wise, water pollution wise, air wise, list goes on and on. I’m not concerned bc I’ve seen that in crisis the best in ppl comes out. I’m following the Occupy Love movement and my assessment…this is good. However, there has never been a better time to come out of aberhaze imho. Times are such that clear headed is your best asset. Airy fairy types will wave crystals, others will wait for aliens to intervene, some will sit in perpetual meditation chanting, fasting, and some will hang onto every last word the traveling band of so called Mayan representatives spout. Abers will keep trying to connect with their vortex to get them through. But the times as they are, are best suited, again imho, to presence of mind and clear thinking. I do believe in inner guidance. I’ve had it serve me in more ways than I can count, split second avoiding of vehicle crash, just that eerie feeling that something coming down the road thing…and other ‘near misses’. The problem with Ester preachings is it actually takes you farther away from that whatever you wish to call it, inner guidance, gut feelings, intuition etc. The whole idea of the gap, who you are vs what you have become, creates more division not less. You are perpetually in a state of conflict and by the preachings you can never catch up. This imho takes you farther away from your intuitive knowing not closer. As long as I perpetuate the idea to myself there is a gap then there is a gap. I think it’s why so many ex Abers notice a new clarity and sense of self. And I do believe these times we are in are best approached with a state of wholeness within not division.
