 ADVOCATES HUMAN MURDER October 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is all interesting - until the end. I didn't mind the animal part that has offended most, not that I agree completely however. BUT right AFTER that part, they talk about murder of human beings. She/Abraham states that our laws are based upon the assumption that death itself is "bad" and that the laws we have are based upon that faulty assumption. Watch it again, and you'll see that this being "Abraham" uses round-about logic to come to the conclusion that human murder is fine if that is what you want to do. I had to rewind it three or four times to make sure of what I was hearing. Incredible.
Further, in this segment the "being" seems to be saying that morals and rules are not necessary if everyone is doing what they want. But earlier in the program when they are discussing death in general, the "being" calls people in prison "buggers" with an English connotation, and states that we wouldn't be killing them if we really knew how wonderful death was. So ... we can't judge anyone for doing whatever they want to make themselves happy - including murder, if that makes some people happy - but this "being" can judge those who are in prison for having done what they wanted. Hmmmm.
How can the producers not have caught this? And what else did they edit out?
Personally, I did like everything else I heard, and didn't even freak when "Abraham" began to speak (although Esther started with an educated Middle Eastern-English accent and ended in a just-about proper British accent, which is a minor point to me). I guess I was hoping for the voice of an angel communicating truth to the world.
So at the end of it all, I DO believe Esther is communicating with a "being," but this being is not as friendly as it portrays itself to be. As I continue to ponder the messages, it keeps bringing to mind Legion from the New Testament. Even that thing recognized and proclaimed Christ/truth, but was not something you'd want to take advice from.
I am SOOOO glad I did not purchase this, and only borrowed it from the library. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE purchase The Secret DVD and Book if you are looking for something to explain the law of attraction. This has absolutely NOTHING on The Secret, which is one of the best all-time literary works ever. You don't need anything more on this subject. This Abraham is downright terrifying comparatively, in its seeming benign logic with a hidden message.

I have been studying the work of Abraham for only 2 years (where WAS I for the last 60 years???!!); it has absolutely changed my life. I had read many of the Seth books in the 1980s but did not make the connection with how to embody his teachings. NOW I can understand, NOW Seth is like a reservoir of information: BUT Abraham's teachings, the books, the tapes/cds of the seminars all across the country year after year--everything Abraham says leads me into my own Source energy and my own bliss. I have studied with Joseph Campbell, I have been a seeker all my life, I am a child of the 60s (both in 1946). Abraham has opened my own universe to me. Watch this tape, buy "A New Beginning I and II" by Jerry and Esther Hicks--and by all means watch this video "The Secret Behind The Secret" and then feel yourself flowing into who you are, who you REALLY are, and who you want yourself to become. It is so very wonderful to feel this way.
I know I know.. I can't even believe that I am totally on board with this! September 15, 2008

Ok so about 6 years ago a business associate told me about "Abraham" - She mentioned how she had been following Esther Hicks for years and years and that Esther was someone who "channeled" a group of spirits called Abraham... I remember thinking.. "oh my this woman who I so admire is off her rocker" I politely tilted my head and said " oh really -interesting" thinking internally the entire time "what planet did my friend hail from?"
It was never brought up again until 5 years later the same friend bought me both the DVD and the book "the Secret" and it changed my entire outlook on life. In the original video ( Esther has been edited out of the new versions) I was drawn to what she had to say and how she said it. She was someone that I felt a bond with and found myself a bit mermerized while I listened to her. It was becasue of the secert that I turned to her other material including this DVD.
She truly was the secret behind the secret and if you listen to her early works you will know that. This dvd is well done although I must say the very long ocean rippling intros are a bit too much. They start out OK and go to painfully unbearable fast. But the material here is right on target and well worth watching.. it gives you the background on Esther - her husband Jerry and of course "Abraham". When you listen to Abraham's teaching as they are told through Esther you truly realize this information is coming from a being far superior to anyone in this world and there are wonderful lessons to be learned. If you find this DVD enlightening you have only scratched the surface and the "Abraham-Hicks" website will allow you to sign up for monthly CD's which are also great...
All in all I was once a total skeptic and now a true believer, Finally teachings about who we are and why that makes total sense...I mentally thank my friend every day for the path she knudged me on, and I am forever changed..
oh also another mind blowing work is "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian Weiss - written over 20 years ago it amazing parallels with Abraham's teachings...
So perhaps NOW you think I am from another planet and the ony thing that I can say is that it is not yet your time and there will come a time when this falls into place and you will come to the realization that everything is truly not what it seems...

Forget about therapists, psychoanalists, psychologists, shamans, Tarot readings.
Get ALL the books and DVD's of these ( I would'nt buy the other products) authors, and hope your life will change as much as mine.

 Love the material - hate the background music July 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have come to know this material over the past months and have eagerly devoured it. So I was keen to find out more about how Jerry and Esther came to know Abraham. The interview is great stuff but I absolutely cannot stand the incessant background film music. The music seems so important to the director (and it IS film music, stolen from other well-known films), that it is credited BEFORE each section. It rises and falls, swells and eddies but of course it cannot do so in response to Jerry and Esther's words because it was composed for something else. It is a manufactured. pre-fabricated add-on to try to manipulate our emotions and we deserve better.
Oh how I launched rockets of desire that this background torment would cease!
