Abraham Hicks

Abraham Hicks
A self help programme by Esther and Jerry Hicks - they have brought out a number of books, self help cards, seminars and lectures regarding Abraham, an extension of non physical energy. According the Esther, she channels Abraham by meditating and raising her vibrational frequency.

other beliefs include:
All thoughts attract "like" thoughts
By thinking positively, you align yourself to that with which you desire
The universe is only a mirror
Non Physical Energy is the source of all Being
etc

Fucking woo. You know something is total bullshit woo when they talk about "vibrational frequency." It's not like there's a sine wave going from our head to our feet.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

RE: Abraham Hicks
In comic books, the Flash could travel between dimensions if he adjusted his "vibrational frequency."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

RE: Abraham Hicks
The followers of Hicks treat this woman like christians do jesus.  And they believe in it so strongly and let this stuff consume them.  Yet this stuff is suppose to attract everything they desire into their lives all of the wealth and health and youth and lovers and everything else they crave for and they sear it works yet they all have lives that are no better than anyone else's and they still cling to Hicks which would seem unnecessary if it made their lives so perfect like they preach it does. 

And of course when it does not work for others they have a long list of ready made excuses where of course it is YOUR fault. You did not believe hard enough, you did not have enough faith, or it just is not meant to be for you in this life time on and on.

I have read posts from people who said it ruined their life or the lives of loved ones who became obsessed with these teachings. Hicks teaches that every single thing you desire is already a reality in your vortex which is a vibrational place that is waiting for you when you die so when you die and go into pure positive energy everything you ever desired will be there for you.  Tell me that does not make certain people in the world want to commit suicide who are miserable and believe all they have to do is die and they can have everything they have ever dreamed of!

Oprah was big on promoting this stuff and Matt Dilihunty talked once talked about how a lady wrote Oprah telling her she has cancer and was getting treatment but thanks to thee teachings she knows getting treatment is sending the wrong message so now she will stop the treatments and start focusing on health. And Oprah suddenly felt a bit of guilt for once and wrote back to not stop getting treatments, even though this goes against the very teachings she claims to believe in and pratice!

It's woo.


And for those who don't know -


Woo is simply a nice way of describing a steaming pile of horseshit...
