==Outline of Abraham–Hicks' teachings== |
|||
According to Esther and Jerry Hicks, "Abraham" consists of a group of entities that are "interpreted" by Esther Hicks. Abraham has described themselves as "a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension". They have also said, "We are that which you are. You are the leading edge of that which we are. We are that which is at the heart of all religions." Abraham has said through Esther that, whenever one feels moments of great love, exhilaration, or pure joy, that is the energy of source and that is who Abraham is.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}} |
|||
Hicks started giving private readings in 1987 and conferences the following year, working from their estate in [[San Antonio]] and traveling from location to location in a luxury [[motorhome]] well into the 2000s. Cruises were eventually added to the road trips. Their popularity skyrocketed after Esther appeared in the original version of the 2006 DVD film [[The Secret (2006 film)|''The Secret'']]. The film contained an excerpt of a 2005 cruise conference showing Hicks explaining the Law of attraction, a central concept of ''The Secret'''s mystical self-help discourse.<ref name="independent" /> Hicks is also offering video lectures, including exclusives for paying subscribers. As of January 2023, their YouTube subscriber count was 741,000, with the most popular video at 14.6 million views.<ref name="SI" /> |
|||
Esther herself calls Abraham "infinite intelligence", and to Jerry, they are "the purest form of love I've ever experienced". Her teachings (known as "Abraham–Hicks teachings") are based on this experience. The basic tenets of the teachings include one that says that people create their own [[reality]] through their attention and focus. [[Emotion]]s are a person's guidance system that indicates how close or distant that person is to how their Source feels about a particular topic of focus. [[Personal life| Life]] is meant to be fun and easy.

==New thought teachings== |
|||
A large part of Hicks' work centers around the law of attraction, a concept which [[William Walker Atkinson]] (1862–1932) wrote about in his book ''Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World'' (1906).<ref name="Thought Vibration">{{cite book |
|||
Hicks claims that by attuning their thoughts to the frequency of the universe, people will receive whatever they desire. It reuses the same basic concepts as older American self-help books of the [[New Thought]] movement, such as [[William Walker Atkinson]]'s ''The Law of Attraction in the Thought World''.<ref name="independent" /> An attempt by Hicks to copyright the phrase ''Law of attraction'' was rejected by the United States Patent Office because it had been used by Atkinson as early as 1906.<ref name="SI" /> |

As of 2013, they summarized their teachings into three universal principles: [[Law of attraction (New Thought)|Law of Attraction]] (thoughts vibrating with the universe), Science of Deliberate Creation (thoughts manifest reality) and Art of Allowing (attracting people).<ref name="SI" /> |

Esther Hicks narrated and appeared in the original version of the film ''The Secret'', as well as being a central source of the film's inspiration.<ref name="independent" /> The footage featuring Hicks was removed from the later "Extended Edition" after the film's creator [[Rhonda Byrne]], who has been involved in contractual disputes and litigation regarding the film, rescinded the original contract covering Hicks' participation,<ref name="australian" /> and asked that Hicks relinquish her "intellectual property rights in these areas forever".<ref name="Esther_Hicks">{{cite web |title=Letter to Friends |url=http://www.meetup.com/Washington-Abraham-Hicks/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2283719 |access-date=April 18, 2013 }}</ref> In an open letter posted on the internet, Hicks stated that she had been "uncomfortable with what felt to us like a rather aggressive marketing campaign," and that ultimately Abraham gave her the following advice: "Whenever you are given an ultimatum that says, 'if you don't do this, then we will have to do such and such,' it is best that you just let it go and move on. Otherwise there is always another, and this, and this, and this."<ref name="Esther_Hicks" /> The letter doesn't condemn Byrne, but clarifies why Hicks no longer appears in ''The Secret''. |

Most messages promoted by Hicks as coming from Abraham amount to wishing for good things to happen, but occasionally veered into blaming victims of rape for the crime and people getting infected with AIDS because they lack self-love.<ref name=Consp>{{Cite book |last1=Beres |first1=Derek |title=Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat |last2=Remski |first2=Matthew |last3=Walker |first3=Julian |publisher=PublicAffairs |year=2023 |isbn=978-1541702981 |location=New York |pages=245–249}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Scofield |first=Be |date=11 November 2019 |title=A Critique of Abraham Hicks & the Law of Attraction |url=https://www.gurumag.com/a-critique-of-abraham-hicks-the-law-of-attraction/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002084715/https://www.gurumag.com/a-critique-of-abraham-hicks-the-law-of-attraction/ |archive-date=2 October 2023 |access-date=22 March 2024 |website=Guru Magazine}}</ref> |

Esther Hicks (née Weaver, born March 5, 1948) is an American inspirational speaker, channeler, and author. She has co-written nine books with her husband Jerry Hicks, presented numerous workshops on the law of attraction with Abraham-Hicks Publications and appeared in the original version of the 2006 film The Secret.[1] Hicks claims she channels a collective consciousness she calls "Abraham". As with other channellers, she uses a different tone of voice and accent to indicate the entity is speaking through her.[2][3][4]
Biography
[edit]Esther Weaver was born in Coalville, Utah, on March 5, 1948. At age 20, she met her first husband and had two daughters from that marriage, one of whom (Tracy) works with her.[3][5] In 1976, she met Jerry Hicks, then a successful Amway distributor, and they married four years later. In his early life, Jerry Hicks had been a circus acrobat for two years in Cuba, and then, beginning in 1948, toured for 20 years as a musician, master of ceremonies, and comedian. He had been married several times before meeting Esther.[1][2][3]
Esther's channeling experiences started in 1985, after she and Jerry read channeller Jane Roberts's books and after a consultation with a channeller in Phoenix, where they were living.[3]
Hicks started giving private readings in 1987 and conferences the following year, working from their estate in San Antonio and traveling from location to location in a luxury motorhome well into the 2000s. Cruises were eventually added to the road trips. Their popularity skyrocketed after Esther appeared in the original version of the 2006 DVD film The Secret. The film contained an excerpt of a 2005 cruise conference showing Hicks explaining the Law of attraction, a central concept of The Secret's mystical self-help discourse.[3] Hicks is also offering video lectures, including exclusives for paying subscribers. As of January 2023, their YouTube subscriber count was 741,000, with the most popular video at 14.6 million views.[6]
Jerry Hicks died November 18, 2011, from cancer. He was 85 years old.[7]
New thought teachings
[edit]Hicks claims that by attuning their thoughts to the frequency of the universe, people will receive whatever they desire. It reuses the same basic concepts as older American self-help books of the New Thought movement, such as William Walker Atkinson's The Law of Attraction in the Thought World.[3] An attempt by Hicks to copyright the phrase Law of attraction was rejected by the United States Patent Office because it had been used by Atkinson as early as 1906.[6] Labeling these beliefs as prosperity consciousness, Gordon Melton traces their origin in 19th century Christian Science.[8]
As of 2013, they summarized their teachings into three universal principles: Law of Attraction (thoughts vibrating with the universe), Science of Deliberate Creation (thoughts manifest reality) and Art of Allowing (attracting people).[6]
Most messages promoted by Hicks as coming from Abraham amount to wishing for good things to happen, but occasionally veered into blaming victims of rape for the crime and people getting infected with AIDS because they lack self-love.[9][10]
The Secret
[edit]Esther Hicks narrated and appeared in the original version of the film The Secret, as well as being a central source of the film's inspiration. The footage featuring Hicks was removed from the later "Extended Edition" after the film's creator Rhonda Byrne.[3]
According to different accounts, Hicks either left the collaboration out of ideological differences with the producer.[3][11][8] or was told by Rhonda Byrne that her part would be edited out and that she wouldn't receive any royalties beyond the $500,000 already paid,[5][12] Byrne arguing that Hicks merely used concepts that has been previously published.[6]
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Hicks said the episode left her feeling ill-treated by Byrne.[4]
In 2007, Esther Hicks released her own popular DVD series, The Secret behind the Secret.[3]
Books
[edit]Several of the books written by Esther and Jerry Hicks have made it to bestseller lists in the United States.[3][6] Hay House Inc. published the Hicks' book, Ask and it is Given, in September 2004. Since that book they have also published The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent (January 2006), The Law of Attraction (October 2006), The Astonishing Power of Emotions (September 2008), Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth & Happiness, and The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships (2009).[13][14]
