Abraham Hicks: Fake or Just Shallow, Cold and Mean?

Is Abraham Hicks Fake? Big question. A better question maybe: Is Esther Hicks fake?

Increasingly, Esther Hicks is being seen as a fake with her impersonation of Abraham, claiming that she receives "blocks of thought" from and eternal "group of roughly one-hundred nonphysical teachers," including (they claim, when asked) Jesus. Bunched together as Abraham-Hicks, they communicate their teachings to her and banter among participants at their workshops.

Many, probably most followers, still trust her guidance. But a curious and disappointing erosion of trust has been eating away at this once reliable source of guidance and insight, calling Esther and Abraham Hicks everything from a fraud to a fake.

Maybe I've become a little more skeptical, but I think the message has also changed in ways that throw into question everything about Esther Hicks' two decade long presentation of Abraham, the teachers she claims to channel, even if she uses different terminology. Channeling is channeling, even if you dress it up.

And a new twist: Defending Esther Hicks With What My Uncle Leslie Shoveled Out Of His Barn

Yet another spin the Abraham Hicks Scam: Jerry Hicks Died, But Guess What? He's Back!

Any objective observer with an open mind who has followed and ponied up good money should ask the question: Is Abraham Hicks fake? (Kyra Speaks has some enlightening input on the subject here. Put another way, is Esther Hicks fake as she channels an increasingly shallow, cold and mean-spirited Abraham?

Esther Hicks on Aging, Medicine and Sickness

In her own words.

"Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they've got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed happily one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world; and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy... You can play it out any way you choose."



--- Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop in Sedona, AZ on Saturday, August 27th, 2005

"The very best approach to medicine is,"Well, I see your physical body is sick, what's been bothering you? What are you worried about? What are you angry about? What are you frustrated about?" Because that is what is at the root of all of this. And then say, 'Let it go, let it go, let it go.' That's the message, and if they could hear you and do that, then they would all be well right away."



--- Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR, on , May 16th, 2000

And death itself:

"'...death' is a matter of closing one's eyes in this dimension and literally opening one's eyes in the other dimension. And that, truly, is how all death is, no matter how it looks, up to that point.. The re-emergence into Source Energy is always a delightful thing."



--- Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop in Buffalo, NY on Tuesday, September 25th, 2001

Note: This claim, that death is always "delightful" was dished out two weeks after the World Trade Center Disaster. For pregnant women jumping to their deaths from eighty floors in the sky, for professionals supporting families, for the captured passengers on commercial flights, a few with infants in their laps, death was a "delightful" experience, according to Esther Hicks.

For Starters

An Introduction

Esther and Jerry HicksI'm completely comfortable with the idea of life after death and with communications between the living and the dead, that is, between what Abraham-Hicks would call physical and nonphysical. But does it really make sense to just take the Abraham-Hicks team's word for what is taking place? Especially with the rabid focus on product sales and marketing, who can say what's true with them anymore?

For example, just taking on the basics, is it true when Esther says she interprets nonverbal blocks of thought, which she interprets, when she has already told the story of being taken to a typewriter when Abraham took control of her hands to type out a book announcement? What about when her partner and marketing director, Jerry Hicks, announces publicly that "Abraham smiled?" Or, when, according to Jerry, these spiritual guides had nothing better to do than hawk guided meditations that he was peddling for wildly exorbitant prices?

Going back to my childhood when I found myself doubting the religious doctrines being taught (the Noah and the Ark thing stands out as an early red flag), I see a long string of questions popping up in my mind. Question Authority! was a popular phrase that appealed to me and still does. When I got caught up in the Law of Attraction fever that quickly became so popular, I found my skepticism rising. The Teachings of Abraham, as promoted by Esther and Jerry Hicks, checked out surprisingly well. Oh, there were a couple of things that didn't add up, but over all, I liked its veracity and consistency.

I believe there was a lot credibility in the beginning, maybe from wisdom learned elsewhere or even from a true channeling. Teaching matters. But there are so many errors today, poorly conceived ideas and staging for marketing efforts, the message has been lost. Commitment and passion seem to be taking a backseat to a shallow narcissism that sells to a market looking for an easy, lottery-like solution and instant self-gratification. That doesn't mean the original teachings were untrue, but it makes you wonder why they've been set aside in favor of all this marketing, if Esther and Jerry Hicks genuinely believed them to be true in the first place.

Esther Hicks Couldn't Be A Fake

Or could she?

A recent online commentator said that, if Esther was faking, she should win the Academy Award. Another wanted to nominate her for "the Nobel Prize." While not specific on which Nobel Prize, the commentator added: "I'm not kidding." What's your opinion?

Is Esther Hicks Faking?

Of course, she is. No one wise would make so many errors and contradictions.

tareem says:

the people who listen to her are to be blamed --- hunger to the unknown in the west makes such lies acceptable and respected

DSmith says:

All channelers get an initial true message, like many of us, simple and brief.. But it is a shame to run it into the ground for profits sake. 20+ years worth of it, always ends in tears. It all comes out in the wash, no matter the sustained skill.

DaveStone13 says:

The only thing I'd disagree with, Strega is the term "seemingly profound." In the early days maybe, but after some years and plenty of time contradict themselves and make in course corrections to keep from getting stale, they just sound confused, narcissistic and juvenile.

Strega says:

Ester Hicks, aka Abraham, is a master at double-talk. Her seemingly profound statements and twisted logic are nothing but circular garbage.

Alice says:

Esther is definitely a fake. As so many of these false gurus, using pieces of truth mixed in. She is inconsistent and neither looks nor sounds genuine. There are pictures of her where she looks as if she is falling apart at the seams, and pictures of Jerry where he looks absolutely awful inside and out. They have a lucrative scam, but it looks like the devils are betraying her, as devils do, and she is starting to lose it with her customers and abuse them.

No, she isn't, mush for brains, it would be too hard to fake for all these years and still be convincing.

DD says:

The fact that I've followed the advice given in the Abraham Hicks videos to complete success every time implies that there's at least some truth behind what she says. I personally choose not to give as much weight to the idea of "Abraham" being some entity "channeled" by Hicks, but if I listen to the words I can hear truth. I've compared what Hicks says and the principles behind the teachings with spirituality, religion and prayer and can draw a great many number of parallels. Setting aside the labels of "Abraham", "Esther" or "Jerry", I take on the advice and get great results in my own life.

I disagree with either of these "sides" that I'm being offered to choose from as the "side" that agrees with the teachings is not the true reason I would support them. See above.

"It is your rules that make unlawful beings. You would get along better if you would just trust each other to treat each other appropriately, but you don't. So you keep making laws -- until you make criminals of everyone."

This is like saying we turned this poor lion into a man-eater because we're so tasty. We're at fault. Lie down, and let yourself be eviscerated.

Thank you.

I suppose ideas like this one appeal to hopeful idealists who believe that rules don't matter and leaders are obstructionists. We should all do our thing, and not only that, we should just trust others to do theirs. We would "get along better" that way.

So, we created "unlawful beings" by creating rules. The only way to read this whacky assertion is that we should have no rules about anything because the rules themselves create the danger. In other words, whatever anyone else does, we should regard it as okay. If it's not or we think some guidelines need to be made to protect ourselves, we are at fault for not trusting.

This has a sort of lame, idealist's appeal, but from a group of approximately one-hundred nonphysical teachers, you'd expect something a little more highly developed or worked out. Wisdom, anyone?

The romantic inferences about the divinity in all of us is well-intended, probably, but shallow and juvenile.

There are writers and leaders who believe you have a brain.

What do you think?

Do laws create criminals or were there dangers present before the laws were passed to protect us?

  • Shasha May 14, 2012 @ 2:45 pm | delete
    Here is my thought on this.

    A law creates criminals by declaring an action illegal. Before the law was created the person who may have done a specific action was not a criminal, but once that law was created that changed and the person became a criminal.

    i.e. It is legal to talk on your cell phone today while driving, but once the law was created and implemented that banned talking on the cell while driving caused that act to become an illigal action. Therefore, the law has been broken.

    A person becomes a criminal when they commit a crime, even if it is a seemly minor act.

    If you disagree with me, then consult with an attorney or law enforcement or google it and show me a different interpretation from a source other than Abraham-Hicks.

Abraham-Hicks and Sex

What?

You know, I wanted to look at what Abraham had to say about sex. It's certainly on our minds often enough, but unlike "death," a search for "sex" on the Abraham-Hicks website turns up only a single entry in all they have indexed. At that, it's "sexuality" that comes up, not sex.

Try it yourself. Search "death." Then, search "sex." The contrast is striking. Where's the love? Not where you might think it is sometimes, that's for sure.

If Abraham exists and feeds blocks of thought to Esther to interpret, I've gradually become puzzled at their lack of physical awareness. More about that in the next capsule, but for now, let's consider the absence of sex in their lives or non-lives, as the case may be.

In twenty-five years of seminars, wouldn't it have come up more than, say, once? Wouldn't Abraham, who claims to know everything, including what we are thinking, have made at least a witty comment or two?

Get yourself a little bit of what Abraham leaves out.

There's more to the absence of physical awareness, a lack of empathy, for example, but to me, this seems more like the preoccupations of an elderly, sexless couple than of an ageless wise one who hopes you will find their teachings cool enough to benefit from them.

Makes you wonder about the audience too? What makes them so comfortable in sex free environments?

There's a kind of neo-Puritanism threading through much of the New Age community, and maybe that accounts for some of Esther's appeal.

Grandmotherly sweetness and charm. No sex.

Take a taste of reality:

Are "nonphysical beings" without a compass in a world with so much sex?

    While I'm as happy as I can be to see the rare Aber with a sense of humor, I'd be happier if you actually read the material before commenting. It helps make you seem less mindless.

    The subject actually is about the possibility of A-H being corrupted by money and losing track of what had once been valuable teachings. It's a charge that can be leveled at a lot of politicians, athletes, etc. who seem to change when they suddenly find themselves wealthy.

    You'd be better off if you tried to intelligently disagree on a subject, or even trouble yourself to answer the question asked. That would be refreshing. Most Abers can't manage that challenging task. Too angry.

    You know what amuses me? People like you who want to read everything for free and are, then, shocked (shocked!) to find that legitimate advertisers pay a large chunk of the freight. Do you suppose that your local newspaper (assuming you read one) should cover corporate greed because they advertise? Or that commercial television shouldn't question anyone's greed, just because your free viewing is paid for by advertisers?

    Will there ever come a time in human existence when we will be able to conquer our own fears, cynicism. Will we ever stop hunting witches? Will we ever learn from the past?
    There was a time when man firmly believed that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the centre of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions. He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life. His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.

    Galileo is today considered to be the Father of Modern Science.

    During any paradigm shift there is always the severe ridicule, then comes the vehement protest against the shift and finally the acceptance....until the next big shift in human consciousness and awareness.

    May God have mercy on all who wish these people ill-will, and mock and slander them. I cannot speak for their personal characters, but all I know is that they literally saved my life with a single video clip. May those who point fingers not live to regret their judgments upon others.

Flimsy Temporary You

You Ain't Nothin' Until You Die, Kid

Flimsy Body

"... this flimsy temporary you-in-this-physical-body-personality that you know as you... is how Esther dismisses the physical beings that we are.

The nonphysical part of you, whatever that is, is the part of you that knows your power, knows your worthiness. This is the part of you that is eager about life. This is the life part of you. This is the Source part of you. This is the God part of you.

I Survived Esther Hicks and Abrahan shirt
I Survived Esther Hicks and Abrahan by davestone13

She goes on to add, Law of Attraction is powerfully responding to THIS you.

Forget the obvious contradiction... Didn't see it? Law of Attraction is supposed to respond to everything, but now she claims it responds only to the nonphysical you, the part that isn't the you know who... Well, untangle her logic at your leisure, if you're still willing.


I Ain't Got No Body by Village People



Back the other implication--that is, our physical selves are flimsy, not important, flabby and dull. They used to say we were spiritual beings here to have physical experience. Apparently, apart from raking in cash and adulation, there isn't much else.

This begs the question of course that, if our nonphysical selves are so superior and powerful, why would we bother with that flimsy physical one.

When I was twenty, I wrote this verse: "I will have more fun with my body than you will with yours because I am not looking for God with it."

I'm stickin' with that.

How's your body, baby?

The Death Thing

"Lighten up, you old bugger!"

Rain Out In Toronto

As Eric Idle advises in The Life of Brian, singing advice to another victim the Romans have put up to die on cross. It's probably the funniest part of one of the funniest movies ever made.

"We come from nothing. We're going back to nothing. What have you got to lose? Nothing!"


Monty Python's Life Of Brian
The Immaculate Edition with Monty Python

This is the reverse of what Esther teaches. In Eric's view, life is the whole tamale. In hers, it's an interlude in which we miss out on the real joys of existence. Here is how she describes it:

"...'death' is a matter of closing one's eyes in this dimension and literally opening one's eyes in the other dimension. And that, truly, is how all death is, no matter how it looks, up to that point. The re-emergence into Source Energy is always a delightful thing."

As Abraham-Hicks followers know, another teaching is that everyone goes voluntarily, as a choice, a virtual suicide. This is probably the most painful assertion thrown at the faithful. They are told to believe that their loved ones left willingly and were delighted at doing so.

Esther even makes a practice of calling death "croaking" and giggles about being "so disrespectful, because their is no death."

Whoa!

My cousin, Johnny, was hit by a car when he was only seven years old, barely kicking into first gear. No point in the grisly details, but the fact is that he was excited about his mom being home from a time away, went to tell a friend, riding a bike with controls he'd never used and coasted straight in front of a driver that never saw him coming.

Johnny was probably dead before the ambulance came. Now, Esther wants us to believe that seven-year-old Johnny made a decision to die, disregarding the effect it would have on a family that loved him.

And my aunt, Johnny's mother--she should understand that it was delightful to be ripped out of his human shell and into a divine afterlife. Sorrow and grief are to be mocked in Esther's world. It just shows that you have not gotten over the death thing yet.

Your life is flimsy to start with. You aren't losing anything much. Cheer up, you old bugger!

More on Jerry Hicks' Cancer the Spider Bite Diversion

What are they covering up?

In a recent twist, Jerry Hicks has admitted to submitting willingly to a powerful round of chemotherapy.

Assuming that the Teachings of Abraham are true and that Esther Hicks has not been faking Abraham, there is no reasonable way Jerry Hicks could have been overtaken by what relatives have confirmed is leukemia. Continuing with fakery that supports the Abraham Hick scam, a series of public messages, some claiming to be directly from Jerry Hicks, evade a direct admission of his cancer, even while it's publicly known. The messages diddle around the point, giving followers the option of believing his illness is a spider bite.

The diversion is tactical. If Jerry Hicks admits to suffering from cancer, he must admit that he has not followed the teachings of Abraham that he and Esther Hicks pitch 24X7. Only a few people would be gullible enough. More important, another teaching from Abraham is that, by focusing on thoughts healthier than those that fostered the cancer (or any other illness), a cure can be "immediate."

I'm not making this up. Honest.

Anyway, Jerry and Esther Hicks have taken a huge risk by admitting to chemotherapy in preference to "better feeling thoughts." That landed with a thud and a nes outburst of skepticism and charges of Abraham Hicks fraud and faking. Since, the Abraham Hicks marking operation, where Jerry is CEO, has disappeared him like a disgraced politician.

Esther Hicks even went off on an Alaskan cruise while her eighty-seven year old partner recuperates, never mentioning him as far as the records show. On the Abe Forum, controlled by Esther and Jerry Hicks through a proxy, the administrator, David Gordon, has banned discussions, even positive ones, about Jerry Hicks illness.

Here are some additional writings on the subject.

    I've never read her work, seen her physicality, or heard her speak. (Or Abraham). Sounds like a fun stage act- like a hypnotist that convinces his audience they're baby goats for 30 minutes. Only it seems it could take lifetimes for some folks to get over the illusion of channeling.

    Interesting phenomenon, Darcie. I have a friend, Kyra, who does a lot of research in this, and there is some intriguing stuff out there. But it seems that what the Hicks's have done in reaching general audience is just pandered after people's hopes, tickling a sort of narcissism in a segment of the population. Good marketing in any case.

    I have several hubs on this topic, plus the lenses. Some of the followers are ranking me down all the time. Part of the game with sacred cows.
