Abraham: the Secret Behind the Secret

If you came away after watching the movie “The Secret”, wondering if there was more to the Law of Attraction, then read on.


The Secret Behind the “Secret”
Those who have seen the original version of Rhonda Byrne’s movie “The Secret” would be well-acquainted with Esther Hicks.

Esther Hicks featured prominently in the original cut of movie. However the footage featuring Esther was later removed in the "Extended Edition" of The Secret due to contractual issues and disagreements over marketing tactics.

Many other authors actually believe that The Secret is fundamentally based on the works of Esther and her husband Jerry Hicks.



Jerry and Esther Hicks, 2005
They are widely regarded as being modern day gurus on everything concerning the Law of Attraction; and this is because of their highly influential ‘Teachings of Abraham’.
The books they’ve written are essentially material reading for anyone wanting to get to grips with this great omnipresent law of the Universe. They published a well renowned, New York Times bestselling book entitled ‘The Law of Attraction’.
Esther Hicks is an American spirit channeller, motivational speaker, and best-selling author. Her most recent book was on the New York Times best-seller list for 5 weeks. She has co-authored eight books with husband Jerry Hicks and presents workshops for Abraham-Hicks Publications. Esther Hicks identifies herself as the channel for a group of non-physical beings who call themselves "Abraham". Most commonly, this channeled material is referred to under the name Abraham-Hicks.

Development of philosophy and basic teachings

A key teaching of Abraham-Hicks is that achieving one's desires requires feeling hopeful and positive about those goals, rather than fearful. The teachings often refer to "vibrations", stating that one's thoughts affect one's vibrations that influence reality, and that thoughts therefore have an impact on the outside world. Specifically, they state that if people maintain positive feelings and align with good vibrations, good things will happen to them. Conversely, negative life experiences are created when one is focused on negative thoughts.[2]
Fundamentally, Abraham-Hicks teaches that your experiences in life are a direct reflection of your feelings and what you are focusing on. Abraham-Hicks asserts that your feelings are your guidance system, allowing you to recognize when you are heading toward something that you want, or away from what you want. Recognizing that everything in the universe is energy, Abraham-Hicks says that vibrations must align with one another in order for a particular experience or object to manifest in your reality. They use the following analogy: What happens when you say or act one way but think another is like what happens when a radio is tuned to 89.3 FM trying to receive a signal being broadcast on 1050 AM.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, THE LAW OF ALLOWING, and THE LAW OF DELIBERATE CREATION

According to Abraham, the Law of Attraction is only one of three operative laws:

The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. The implications of this law are vast, and the law holds true for all known Universes. "That which is like unto itself is drawn." The thoughts we hold attract similar thoughts and become large masses of thought called thoughtforms. The general vibration that a person holds is representative of the balance of their thoughts. As we become aware or conscious of our thoughts, we can raise our vibration by setting forth thoughts that are more in harmony with our desires. When our thoughts are in harmony with our highest desires, we are filled with joy and ecstasy. When we learn to set forth our thoughts consciously, we are no longer a victims of our own outdated programming. We increasingly attract thought of a higher vibration and raise the level of thought at which we habitually vibrate.

The Law of Allowing
The Law of Allowing states that there is a steady stream of pure energy that is ALL THAT IS. We either allow it or we disallow it. When we allow it, we feel pure positive energy. When we disallow it, we feel negative emotion. It is in the realm of the emotions that our INNER BEINGS communicate with us most effectively. Thoughts tend to get confusing but negative emotions and positive emotions are clear messages that we are either on or off track relative to our soul's highest purpose. Abraham states that we came here with clear intentions to vibrate in harmony with our soul's desire to do and be and have everything we want. Yet when we emerge in the physical, we are quickly bombarded with lackful thoughts of how there is good and there is bad, and that we need to veer away from harm and steer towards good. Abraham teaches that moving away from harm is futile, because in our attention to that which we are not wanting we are focusing on lack. The only way out of this seeming trap is to focus on the ONE PURE AND STEADY STREAM OF JOY that is coming forth to us at all times from our inner beings (IB). When we are not in a joyful state it is because our attention is temporarily removed from our natural state of PURE POSITIVE ENERGY.

The Law of Deliberate Creation
The Law of Deliberate Creation puts forth that by thinking thoughts that are in harmony with the original intentions of our inner being, we begin to again open the valve and allow ourselves to once more bask in the STREAM. The Stream is always there...but sometimes we simply forget to notice it. Due to the dynamics of the Law of Attraction, when we have one lackful thought, we attract more lackful thoughts and so on. As a result we begin spiraling downward. The way out of this spiral is to begin appreciating all that is good right NOW, for example, our comfortable homes, our beautifully functioning metabolisms, our wonderful friends, our delightful gardens.... this way we begin a spiral upward and back to our naturally joyous state of being. Joy is the reality; all else is illusory...and it is traceable to lackful thought. So much of our thought goes along the path of being analytical, critical and judgemental that we end up shooting ourselves in the foot: we bring ourselves down with our negative thoughts. By FEELING our way to thoughts that FEEL better, we gain a higher perspective, and bask in radiance and love. Integrating this material takes a bit of practice at first, but these Laws reflect the underlying principles of our Universe. By bringing these principles into our conscious awareness and learning to actively use them in our lives, we come to heightened levels of BEING in the physical realm... where the Warm Light of JOY is omnipresent... and ecstasy radiates endlessly from our hearts.

Abraham asserts that we have so much control of our physical environment, that things like aging and physical disease are influenced and controlled by our thoughts and emotions.

Outline of Abraham-Hicks' basic ideals

Abraham-Hicks outlines its teachings as follows:

You are a Physical Extension of that which is Non-physical.

You are here in this body because you chose to be here.

The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy.

You are a creator; you create with your every thought.

Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.

You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.

The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions.

Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well.

You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.

Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.

You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.

You cannot die; you are Everlasting Life.
