Jerry Hicks’ State of Health
After receiving more than a few emails from folks wondering what’s going on with Jerry Hicks, it’s clear this topic is on many deliberate creator minds.
I guess it’s like asking Relationship Coach Lisa Hayes about Maria and Arnold. Even though it’s none of our business, it’s not unusual to have questions about someone else’s experience.
Especially when it’s someone we look up to as an example of how to live.
To the extent we can learn from it, be inspired by it or feel better by looking, I am all for getting in someone else’s business.
Since we’ve learned from Abraham that disease is a result of our vibration, and we assume Esther and Jerry Hicks are pretty good vibration managers, it does naturally lead one to ask what’s up with Jerry Hicks.
Last Wednesday Jerry sent out out an email sharing these details:
On March 12 we slept next to the dock with many yachts from many different parts of the world in the slip right outside our window. The next morning I had a large welt on the inside of my wrist that looked like a spider bite. It seemed to resolve itself as time went along forming a pea-shaped nodule on my wrist.
On April 18, I showed it to a dermatologist in Del Mar and she immediately decided to scrape it off and sent it in for a biopsy. We … heard back from the biopsy results that there was something amiss relative to my white blood cell count and she put us in touch with a dermatologist. The subsequent blood test showed my white blood cell count was extremely exaggerated and the physician insisted I undergo immediate treatment with no delay. He pointed out a number of options, one of them was to use the “big guns” (heavy chemotherapy) and so we decided to go along with that and checked into the hospital on May 6th.
We were swept up in such an obvious current of amazing “path of least resistance” events unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before. The strong feeling that we were proceeding in exactly the right direction continued as my response to these “big guns” was a week of no discomfort and none of the highly forewarned side effects. Everyone around us at the hospital kept speaking their surprise at my unusually comfortable experience. We are now in day 18 of a 28 day regimen of bringing my blood counts back into perfect balance.
Jerry plans to rejoin Esther at the workshops after he regains 15 pounds. (Read the full post here if you’re interested.)
From the notes I’m getting it’s clear that deliberate creators are wondering how Jerry was a match for this experience, when everything Abraham trains us toward would seem to steer us clear of something like this.
I’ll share my thoughts in the comments, which I invite you to do as well. Together maybe we’ll better understand how this all works.
More importantly, and in keeping with the advice Lisa shared in her article on Maria and Arnold, I’m inviting everyone reading this to hold nice strong happy healthy pictures of Jerry.
Quoting Lisa’s article:
“Feel free to think about me strong, whole and healthy, but for God sake if you’re feeling sorry for me mind your own damn business.”
Update: Jerry Hicks passed away on November 18, 2011. Read Esther’s note about it here.
Hey Flavia )
Wouldn’t that mean he is misaligned with either the event or imagery that caused the sickness and also perhaps the condition of his body? And can’t we also assume that he has in fact re-aligned himself after speaking with Abraham?
They way I see it, attention to past experiences only causes “up stream” contrast if you associate it’s meaning with negatively in some direction. It’s perfectly fine, and indeed healthy, to focus on elements of your past that bring you joy in recalling them.
This idea of your interests me. Could please explain further?
I pulled this off another Blog…
“You could have every deadly disease known to man, within you, today, and if you chose different feeling thoughts tomorrow, they would all leave your body.”
I’d have to agree there Flavia………and not only would it keep in his vibe it would also be activated in our own – especially if we spent too much time wondering and discussing why he let it in his vibe in the first place. mmmmm certainly makes me think about minding my own business on this and lots of other things that I really would not like in my vibration
happy day to you all!!
Hi George! I don’t quite understand the first question and to the second I say “Yes! Exactly! Let’s look ahead!”
The difference is it depends on how familiar the new vibration you’re aligning with is. If it’s been a while you’re probably more solid in it but if it’s a recent one give the other person a brake no matter who they are. Even Jesus told people after performing miracles “Go forth and tell no one” so as to not expose yourself to unwanted stimulation of thought while at this stage.
Also when you remember things from the past your focus may be on the contrast or on the clarity and gifts it brought. So yes if we were his friends we could ask about more details about the gifts he has received- as if he wouldn’t be talking about them anyway.
So again why ask for any sort of further details about what/how the contrast came about? And even if he did explain it can we be absolutely be sure that we’d understand it completely not having lived in his shoes for however many years he’s lived as Jerry and even before that?
Thank you both for your patience in entertaining my questions.
I’m glad you found it valuable George.
You know, George and Flavia, I was thinking about how Dr. Hew Len would see this via ho’oponopono. I’m not positive, but I think Dr. Len would assume total responsibility himself for what’s happening in the world he experiences.
In that respect, we do indeed affect Jerry’s experience.
I don’t follow Jeannette.
How would that work?
It seems me to that Dr. Hew’s version of existentialism varies greatly from Abraham’s. I must admit that I’m not a big fan of Dr. Hew’s philosophy.
whatever it is I have a feeling Jerry will be a ok. who knows he could be going through this to be a guide for many as he has amazing conscious training. just sharing love and light, now and always. : )
Jerry’s diagnosis has affected many of us … and many questions, of course, have surfaced because of this. Jerry has ALWAYS paid ‘homage’ to the question. Esther said it is partly because of Jerry’s questions … that Abraham has manifested. Could it be, that Jerry’s actual intention is to stimulate more collective thought … so, his vibration is exactly where it is to be … and due to this seemingly devastating diagnosis, he will give evidence to the teachings of Abraham. Those who assist others on how to quit smoking do not have as much credibility if they have not first smoked themselves. I, for one, think of this experience as having two possible ‘lessons’ for the rest of us; 1. An eventual lesson in healing from our earthly perspective as Jerry’s thoughts change his current perspective OR 2. The eventual painless transition back into non-physical. Healing our earthly body is NOT ALWAYS the intention …
Maybe Jerry is out of questions himself and is focused on the NEXT time(life) he gets to do this all again making an even BIGGER impact on humanity! Maybe Jerry knows at a cell level ‘his work is done, here’ at present.

I love that Jerry and Esther provide us (via Abraham) with such great stories from their own experiences.
)
It make them real and approachable and down to earth. I can so relate to Esther and love to hear about her little issues. Jerry seems to be the one who’s always balancing her out, but obviously he has some resistance in areas, too. I remember listening to a cruise CD when they were in Italy (I think) and Jerry was worried that Esther didn’t close her purse and that it would be a target for pickpockets. Abe used that story to draw insights from and apply it to several of the hot seat participants.
Jerry will be fine. It’s hard to think of him any other way.
They are human after all and figuring out how to flow energy and be in the vortex just like the rest of us. It’s contrast for them and that is what sets off the rockets of desire. Hopefully his rocket of desire is to be able to keep helping Ester visit our cities across the country for years to come.
I look forward to seeing him again in Asheville, NC
Maybe he was a bit tired of the traveling. Or this was an experience he was to have. We are human besides spirit. We sometimes get our knees skinned.
Remember, it is not …and… has never been… about “the stuff” whether it be a car, a relationship or an illness. It is about the non resistant flow of being… in time with the Timeless…in the bliss of That. Aylya of the Light::))
We cannot create in anybody else’s experience. Jerry is not Abraham, therefore, he has his own vibration. Jerry just had some resistance, that’s all. Chemotherapy was the inspired, downstream action for him to take. The result will all depend on his allowing or resisting. His experience is independent of the teachings of Abraham. All is well.
I only realised that Jerry Hicks was ill yesterday and I have been in mourning all today. I never realised that Jerry and Esther were ‘family’ so starkly before(I have never attended a workshop but have listened to the material for years now). I feel so for Esther as she and Jerry were together seemingly each and every day and it seems never tired of each others company:)) I wanted to reach for companionship to the Abraham Meet-up group in London but it seems to have been disbanded. We expect so much from Jerry and Esther (maybe) as messengers for Abraham .. but maybe it is as Abraham says that the ‘nay-sayers’ may have to die and the ‘yay-sayers’ be born. (Not relating this to Jerry, but in general i.e)
) Jerry we are rooting for you and send you our love and healing thoughts and vibrations x x x
Maybe we all may or may not be able to realise the wonderful possibilities that Abraham speaks of from time to time in this lifetime.. eg growing new limbs etc.
Hugs to all my sad ‘Abraham’ family worldwide
I’m sorry Jerry has Leukamia as he is part of our human family & yes, I do send him healing thoughts & best wishes. HOWEVER, it’s difficult for scams like this to continue when the people involved are revealed to be exactly the same as the rest of us & no better at avoiding life’s little “inconveniences”. I’m sure they’ll happily explain it away as their millions depend on continuing to dupe gullible people.
I understand how you feel Justine. I also have some concerns.
I’m not sure how you ended up posting here but the people in this forum and all the “followers” are honest, good people just looking for answers. I rarely see any Aber’s pressing their views on others- just defending them.
The study of, what many call, The Law of Attraction does not begin or end with Esther and Jerry Hicks. I have studied this philosophy for years and have read countless books on related topics.
I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that it works. I am living proof. If you knew me, you would be convinced.
I have some problems with the Hicks’ approach to LOA and this event further exacerbates those concerns. Still, most of what I know about Esther and Jerry seems well intended.
With that said, please allow the people here the respect they deserve in their pursuit of the truth in life. I’m sure you would appreciate the same if you felt strongly about something similar.
Well said, George. Who are your favorite authors about the subject and which Law of Attraction books have made an impact in your life? Thank you.
Thank you Anne. (I’m sure Justine’s intentions were good.)
I get asked this a lot and each time I find myself searching my thoughts diligently looking for the best combinations of authors and resources, hoping not to disappoint.
What I’ve learned is that it’s different for each of us. We each have our own unique experiences and beliefs. A book that might resonate with you will do nothing to help another.
If you have been studying the Abraham material for some time but have had no results, put it away. At least for a while. Find some time to spend with yourself and search for unanswered questions within you. Look for authors that resonate with your quest for this knowledge. Then just continue to read as often as you can. It doesn’t have to be titled “Law of Attraction.” I always find that the older the book, the better. They are just a bit more difficult to read.
You will find yourself drawn to the information. You mind, your inner self will organize the information for you. What you’ll be doing really is just reminding yourself of something you already know deep down inside. And please, stay away from the media. Turn off the TV and read.
The most inspirational author in my life is James Allen. I would also recommend the Seth material if you have not already read it.
Declare yourself a continual learner, a seeker of truth in all directions and the way will be shown to you.
Best regards Anne…
Thank you very much for your warm and generous response, George.
I do feel that I have already expanded because sometimes I feel that the Abraham material has become too familiar and that I would like a fresh perspective that will evoke new enthusiasm within me about the continuous process of creation.
Your words resonate with me and I will bear them in mind. I started listening to the Seth material long ago but I can only digest small chunks of it at a time. No worries about the television, I hardly watch it.
Jerry’s illness did not really have a negative impact on me. I just think of it as him having some resistance that he needs to release. Overall, all is still very well. I continue to feel appreciation for him and Esther for bringing the teachings of Abe to me, and for the happy results I have reaped by applying them. I do not seek anyone’s agreement.
Be well and happy always. Regards from the Philippines.
George, I particularly appreciated this observation from you:
“The study of, what many call, The Law of Attraction does not begin or end with Esther and Jerry Hicks.”
I do quote a lot of Abraham on this blog, so I REALLY appreciate the reminder to readers that the LOA sun does not necessarily rise and set with Esther and Jerry.
It’s nice to share Anne….and Jeanette, our very lovely host, it’s always a pleasure to get a compliment from you )
Dear Jeanette – thank you very much for your most welcome reassuring email. After I my posted here I thought that the last bit sounded rather lacking in clarity and I just had to drop the censure and move on knowing that the words had come from my heart at the time
We should be appreciative that they are ‘go-betweens’ until we can trust our own guidance! 
Love to all x x x
I would like to share Abraham’s words with everyone:- “..you are not needing to come here for guidance, it is within you if you will but trust it…And so, there will be a time when this process, with beings coming here to this woman(Esther)will be something that we will no longer agree with. We will say, “It is not our truth in this time”, because what we would rather, is that each of you, individually, bring forth from your own being that which is appropriate.”
I love this passage! It speaks of each of us tuning into our own tailor-made wisdom and trusting it and letting erstwhile teachers off the hook if their guidance does not suit us down to the ground.
Please, I am asking.
Not about what brought Jerry’s illness about, as Abraham has clarified that abundantly. What I want to know is why he did not just think him self well, maybe even, overnight like Abraham has emphatically stated is possible for all of us. I have applied Abraham’s teachings this way, I don’t question, I just do it.
I would be grateful for your perceptive input. Thanks.
I believe Jerry will be just fine…. he knows what he has to do. Jerry and Esther have brought a lot of joy to millions through the teachings of Abraham. They are so enlightening and we could all use a bit of uplifting from time to time regardless of what the skeptics are saying.
There is no right or wrong. Jerry chose this.
Jian, That is the way, Abraham said never to put expectations on others because they will let you down every time (Vortex book CD, Track 11, @18 sec)because they are following the nature of their selfish self as they ought to – as everyone naturally does. So if he stays, I’m ecstatic, if he leaves, I’m ecstatic, Do what is best for you…(Money&LOA book, pg 131)
I understand the last two posts but I think you’ve taken them out of context.
The way I see it, If you are consistently in alignment, according to Abraham’s own teachings, you should not be attracting illness. Especially something like cancer which develops over time. I don’t believe that Jerry chose this. I believe it is was a result of “wrong thought” in some direction.
Agree or disagree, something negative has manifested in his experience. That has to be result of some negative thought over am extended time. You simply cannot manifest “bad” from “good,” from an individual perspective (call it wanted or unwanted if you’d like).
It’s just silly to say that he wanted this. That is just a attempt to rationalize it in fear of challenging a belief that makes you comfortable.
As I’ve said before, I use and agree with the LOA, but it seems that many people are trying to explain this away. There is something amiss here with Jerry and to deny that is simply to misunderstand the principles at work….In my humble opinion )
I agree with George. We have to look at Jerry’s life — he is 87 years old and has had a lot of life some of which, in the early years, were pretty colorful. It would be hard to say that he is living an upbeat positive life every moment. I’m sure there are some deep hurts and beliefs buried deep within him that he is not cognizant of. No one chooses cancer but they can choose thoughts and thoughts turn into beliefs. He may not even be aware of some of his deep seated beliefs.
Really, Jerry is 87? I honestly thought he is much younger! How old is Esther? Thanks.
I agree Lorna
Esther is 63
Thank you, Lorna.
I was just thinking about the channeled wisdom of ‘Emmanuel’ which I followed for years and years before discovering Abraham. The lovely lady, Pat Rodegast who travelled extensively and channeled this ultra-loving wisdom it seems was in the early stages of dementia at 82yrs of age in 2008. She seemed accepting and happy in herself. I believe that Jane Roberts, Seth’s Channel died at 55 from an autoimmune disease. I have heard of other teachers who supposedly had reached a state of ‘present awareness’ who died of things such as cancer in their 80′s. I personally believed Jerry had a desire to remain vital til well over 100 years as he asked Abraham how to script a 120 yr old body. I was kinda looking forward to this happening for him, but I guess one can never tell the personal choices that a person is making. I feel sure if he still wishes to remain physically focused then this will happen for him. I for one would love him to be around for much much longer : ))
I read the posts from this site and most of them are very positive. I love the work that Abraham, Esther and Jerry have done. It has changed my life but it does not end with them. I think we should stop trying to question Jerry’s illness and just accept where he is act and wish him well. We are human and this is a journey. Just because you wife channnels Abraham does not mean that you will always be in alignment and always in your vortex. We are all the creators of our own reality and maybe he chose this illness to stop having desires and to croak. If he did, that is fine. There should be no judgement about another persons experience. We don’t know what is in Jerry’s vortex or what he planned on happening before he got here. That is none of our business. We should just send him love and well wishes and try to get ourselves in our vortex and feeling good as much as we can. Our attention should be on the wonderful things we want to manifest for ourselves and the world. That is my take on it.
Well said, Jade.
TO many scary monsters here.
What is that on the top of my head.?????.
I have chicken legs and green arms,I think I will go and have alook in the mirror.
LOL, Peter! I was curious about the icons, too.
You two are cracking me up about the gravatars! You can upload your very own here:
http://en.gravatar.com/
but for those who haven’t, we have the cute (not scary – ha!) monsters to foster smiles and make sure we don’t take ourselves too seriously. lol
Thanks for the laugh this morning.
And I want to thank everyone who is contributing to this discussion. I find myself thinking about what you’ve said even days after you’ve posted. I so appreciate the high vibes, big love and thoughtful inquiries shared here.
Thanks to you too, beautiful Jeannette!
what do you guys think about that crop circles that Abraham gave totally contradictory answers at different times? I love them but I don’t think is THE source, just a better point of view from Esther. I can perceive also that Abraham does not understand science and other things that THE source should, but is ok for Esther to not know.
According to Jerry and Esther Abraham is all knowing and very advanced so they should know all about the crop circles. If there was contradictory answers at different time I believe it would have to be related with the evolution of change — we are constantly evolving and changing — nothing stands still in the universe. Esther only receives the information given and does not necessarily have to have any knowledge on any given subject.
some time ago she said that some of them was alien and then after some years she said it was all man made! And Abraham cant talk about science when someone make that type of question, we clearly perceive that Abraham`s knowing about some subjects are really limited. Don’t get me wrong, I really like them and I always find wonderful how good some answers are, but at the same time I can see some common human mind there. Remember that many on this planet think that are hearing THE source of all, THE leading edge, but many are just hearing themselves, inserting all kinds of personal flavors and saying is THE truth. And theres some much contradiction when all channels speak on the after life matters. Do you guys don`t suspect that sometimes we are very happy and bad things happens anyway? Law of attraction works but it seems it`s not all there is? maybe some before life arrangements could explain? Isnt life something way bigger than we can figure it out? thanks
I think the “crop circle issue” is very telling and shouldn’t be so casually dismissed.
In your pursuit of clarity and truth you can’t abandon your own ability to reason. After all, it is that very same ability that got you to where you are….to your current level of awareness.
As someone who is very interested in crop circles, I am familiar with Abraham’s contradiction on the topic which wasn’t easy for me to dismiss.
My conclusion: Abraham might know it all (might), but that information is being filtered through a human being not so different from the rest of us.
Either that or Abe IS the alien and didn’t want to tip us off. lol (joking!)
But I actually think that situation is a good thing (for me, anyway), because it’s taught me to keep my own guidance intact. To listen for myself how something lands with me. Rather than just believe everything I hear, even when it’s from a very trusted source.
And that, my dear Jeannette, is why you are so well balanced !
Personally, I don’t think Esther is always able to channel. She probably lost her connection and answered as Esther rather then Abraham in one of the two cases.
Brilliantly explained George — I personally did not hear the Crop Circle tapes so not really able to comment.
Actually, I haven’t heard it straight from Abe either. I was relying on others posts online about it. So it was indirectly relayed.
Why thank you Lorna )
Jeannette; here is a link to the audio.
http://abrahamhicksfraud.blogspot.com/
Disclaimer-
I don’t necessarily agree with the views expressed in this link
Esther frequently is brilliant, has a really wonderful presence of spirit, very fast and convincing arguments. I am really grateful for her work. But I really think is just her, the answers to some questions should be just “I don`t know”, that would be the correct thing to say. “The source of all there is” and ” all knowing” is too much, we can easily verify is not so. We need to find our own guidance as Jeanette said. The important thing here is the law of attraction. I hope we can manifest our reality taking care of our moods, thats what I really like about all of this.
A thought that came to me was about the speed of the flow. So a fast flow would result in quick manifestations good or bad. He could have manifested the illness overnight just as he could manifest the health overnight.
I have had the experience of bad things coming my way one after the other, when I’ve speeded up the flow. Yikes. I can imagine Jerry’s flow is much faster than mine so it would be that much easier/quicker to attract things not wanted for him. Hopefully he can pivot and quickly attract health. Assuming that is what is wanted or, according to other philosophies, what is meant to be.
For me the most telling message behind Abraham-Hicks’ teachings is the statement that it’s not the words that are said that matter, it’s the vibration behind them. Or words to that effect. Questing for proof of whether Esther is genuinely channelling or not is, to my mind, missing the point of what she is saying, which is essentially that we are all infinite parts of what she terms ‘source energy’, and that we line our frequency up with that we feel better. The rest is semantics.
I’m sorry to hear that Jerry has been ill, but I’m prepared to believe that both he and Esther are sufficiently evolved to be as pragmatic about his condition in the grand scheme of things as their humanity allows. I wish them both well. Between the two of them they’ve helped a lot of people.
Incidentally, I think the first time I became properly aware of LOA outside a formal religious setting was via Wayne Dyer, who himself has been suffering from leukaemia. I wish him well too. We are all human and none of us is getting off this planet alive. Something, sometime, is going to get every one of us. I’m simply grateful for the enhancement that people like Dyer, Abraham-Hicks and others of their ilk have brought to my quality of life.
On the subject of crop circles, it’s down to stoned wallabies, according to the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8118257.stm
Well stated Anothernonymous…. so much negativity has been floating about Jerry and Esther and I believe the message that comes across regardless of where it is coming from is of great value. Their words of wisdom have helped so many people and really that’s what it’s all about.
Anothernonymous – thank you for your words of wisdom. I say to forget whether the bible is real or the person is really channeling a disembodied wisdom.. just listen and in that silence you will know if the words ring true for you… then you can be inspired to be the best person you possibly can be or not.
Why can’t I be the example I wish to follow …. if you know what I mean 
You know what the ‘Jerry situation’ has done for me .. it has first of all brought up so much deep heartfelt gratitude for the times I really needed help and I just found the most appesite Abe words presented to me that lifted me sky high into the vortex and secondly .. I thought of Abraham’s invitation ‘to be the miracle’!
I don’t have to believe that I am going to be set upon by ilnesses or if I do then there will be an interesting way out and I will have learnt something. I feel, I can believe that I can live out this life mostly in bliss and health and savouring delicious adventures and when the time comes to pass onto the next adventure in the universe – I can ‘walk into the next room’ (Abe’s description of ‘croaking’) graciously! Well this is what I am aiming for at any rate
I personally am thinking this is how Jerry gets to be 120 – you know what I mean? I think someone here wrote that he expressed that desire once upon a time, and I bet this contrast (or I should say managing this contrast) is what helps him get there.
Yes I wrote that Jerry had asked Abraham how to script a body of 120 years old .. I have printed out pages on the answer. I would be so happy for Jerry if he still holds that wish and can realise same. On the other hand – he might not still want the same outcome anymore. It would be perplexing if he fervently desires to live past 100 onto 120 and it does not happen for him.. guess that would mean that some resistance is blocking his desire manifesting. Well it only be speculation on my part. I wanted Jerry to show the way to thriving into the 100′s. But I can still hold this desire for myself and try to let go of as much resistance as possible so it has a chance of happening for me.
p.s. I like my monster by the way – I have had a look at the others and I like mine the best .. It is plump like me and it has two of everything it should have two of.. like legs and arms and eyes. Thank you for my monster.
You DO make a lovely monster, Lynnette. lol
Seriously, though, I very much appreciate your focus on your own vibration and experience, along with your willingness to lead the way to that gracious and purposeful and ease-ful way of “walking into the next room.” That’s what I pick, too.
Hello. I found a video of an Abraham-Hicks workshop where Abe explains how it is that for massive flowers of energy like Jerry and Esther, a little resistance goes a long way. You might want to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXp63D0nNO8
Thanks for the opportunity to share.
Thank you so much for this video link, Anne! Listening to it now …
Thank you dear Coach .. I’ve still got the direction from Abraham thank goodness, but for instance, I personally find that doing the old system of meditation that I was taught by the ‘Beatles Guru’ brings me to much deeper quietness than the ‘In the Vortex’ meditation which I only missed twice in 6 months of practice .. so now, I go with the meditation which infuses my day with peace
Lynette the Lovely Monster:)
Lynette – what meditation is it you do as I too have found the Vortex meditation not quite up to snuff. I would like something a little deeper. I would love your recommendation.
Lorna – thank you for your interest. I was taught Transcendental Meditation as a young woman and I meditated a half an hour morning and evening. I used to come out of the meditation immersed in bliss.. then got married raised a family and kinda forgot about meditating. I started up again recently first with the ‘In the Vortex’ meditation and now I do my own version. I heard the Wayne Dyer tapes on the ‘Om’ meditation. So I start off with repeating ‘Om’ out loud focusing as I do so and this I do for about 5 minutes – It allows the energies and thoughts to quieten. Then I focus on the mantra I was given when I was 19! It is a Sanskrit word and the name of God. Sanskrit is one of the purest languages and has sounds that lead one back to Oneself. You could focus on virtually any word and let it repeat(positive ones i.e.). I could carry on with the Om word, but I feel at home with this word and it has nice soft sounds too and is flowing ..like OM. I was asked not to reveal my word at the time ..But it is ‘Ram’ and I am in good company
One just starts the word rolling and does not even have to particularly concentrate only WANT to become peaceful.You just loosely follow the sound and let it speed up, slow down, stretch out.. do what it will and it leads one into higher and higher states of peace.. it is sort of magic! It even disappears and one is then just then present with OnesSelf and sitting in a lake of peace and bliss .. which carries forth into ones day!I am at heart all for Abraham, but I do not find this practice controversial to the Abe teachings 
Here is a link to a rather cool dude that advocates the same system of meditation I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKC0I3qxBTw I had to go through a ceremony to receive the meditation system. Hope this helps Laura 
Oh and Laura .. I forgot to mention that after the initial sounding out loud of one’s chosen word then one takes the word inwards and allows it to repeat silently. There is no ‘doing’ or effort involved.. just start up the word and then loosely follow it. You could even repeat ‘Abe Abe’ lol, but you really need a word with sweet soft syllables like the OM word … then it rolls along of its own accord and then it may stop and there is just even greater silence and peace
Hope this all makes sense – happy for you to email me at lynetterodwell@gmail.com if you so wish 
I love Jerry. I love Esther. I love Abraham.
And I love that when I press the “like”
button on this post it says, “You Like
Jerry Hick’s State of Health.”
T-nutz
Thanks for that answer, Lynnette …
… and T-nutz, I like you. Thanks for the smile this morning.
I may be completely off-base and would love your thoughts, but who’s to say that something was wrong with Jerry’s vibration?
What if we are always in vibrational alignment, but such don’t know it or refuse to accept is?
I think what gets our panties in a bundle is when we judge something as “not right” or that it shouldn’t be this way or some such equivalent, rather than simply following the “path of least resistance,” as Jerry has done/is doing.
Thoughts?
I think Abraham’s teachings have clearly indicated time and again that “health is our natural state”…and that disease and illness is a result of “wrong thought” in some direction.
I think Abraham’s teachings have clearly indicated time and again that “health is our natural state”…and that disease and illness is a result of “wrong thought” in some direction.
Yes, but that point of information is only as good as the pivot it leads to. Just because I know I thunk a thought I didn’t like doesn’t mean there is any value in searching it out to fix it or shine a light on it.
The LEAST important question in the world is “how did I get here.”
The MOST important question in the world is “where do I want to go from here.”
It’s not: “I created my reality.”
It’s: “I create my reality.”
The past is dead. It only has the meaning that I give it. And I choose to give it a glorious meaning. I choose to only notice the parts that I like. I choose to only see what I want to see. I ignore the rest.
This is how I actively create my reality moving forward from my powerful now moment.
Mucking around in the past, particularly someone else’s past, is just mucking around.
Abraham says very clearly:
You’ve trained yourself to face reality. You’ve trained yourself to tell the truth. You’ve trained yourself to tell it like it is. So in the beginning, these fantasies feel a little inappropriate, because it’s like you’re fooling yourself.
Sometimes people will say, “Well, isn’t this just denial?” And we say, we hope so! We hope that you are denying the absence that you do not want. And we hope that you are embracing the presence of what you do.
But somehow the idea of denial has become a dirty word to you; like it is virtuous to face the reality of the horror of your own lives. And we would be ignoring anything that did not please us. We would get our eyes on what feels good.
Hi George,
We don’t have “right” thoughts or “wrong” thoughts, in so many words. We have conscious thoughts that are either congruent with what we are experiencing or we have an experience that offers us a contrast so that we can clearly see where we are to direct our next thought(s).
We’re not out of vibrational alignment with that “wrong” experience; it just may be that we weren’t exercising our conscious creative powers up to that point.
I am not suggesting that this is what you meant at all, but it is precisely the labeling of something as bad (and the corresponding bad feeling thoughts) that direct the manifestation of that which we do not want.
(Jeannette offers a beautiful explanation of how we can get hung up on using LOA in order to fix something we’ve judged as bad or not right in this article a couple of months ago: http://goodvibeblog.com/2011/05/law-of-attraction-isnt-for-fixing)
Since this is Jerry Hick’s experience and not ours, we cannot know with any real accuracy what is going on with his thoughts and feelings.
But, if vibrational alignment is mind and feelings congruent with what we experience, then we cannot ever be out of vibrational alignment. We just may not in the moment be aware of the specific vibration we are emitting.
However, just as Frank offers, we can ignore the past and even our present “reality,” in favor of a better feeling thought, so that we are back in the driver’s seat as conscious (as opposed to unconscious) creators.
Thanks for the responses Frank and Tshombe.
I’m sorry but if you agree with my last post then I’m not sure what points you’re trying to make.
I’m not trying to figure out whats going with Jerry. After the first few days, I let it go. I don’t worry at all about Jerry’s past or mine for that matter.
I’m simply trying to point out what seems to be glaringly obvious.
If you buy into LOA, then Jerry attracted cancer. This could only have been been done via “upstream” thoughts. If you’re trying to imply that cancer was somehow a desired experience for Jerry, then I think you’re way off base.
Health is our natural state of being. An enlightened being would not chose sickness or illness.
How did Jerry where he is ?….I really don’t know and I really don’t see any value to myself in trying to figure that out.
I ask questions…that’s my thing
Hey, what about embracing the moment and surrendering? At one level LOA is very useful. At a higher level, it is really just another concept. Concepts are still borne of the mind and have eventual limitations. Surrender–true, deep, in-the-flow surrender, rather than manipulating or coercing any part of our experience, is a path TOO. It is no less valid than any other path. I pray that Jerry–and anyone with a challenge–experiences it deeply and fully and gets exactly what they get. Fully.
P.S. MANY highly enlightened beings: Ramana Maharshi, Yogananda, Ram Dass, hell, even Christ, experienced sickness or grueling death. Why? Because that, too, is a path, and they knew and still know that they are not the body, not the mind and not any transitory experience. THAT is freedom.
While I greatly appreciate your very well thought comment Suzanne, I’m not sure those are fair comparisons.
It seems you are trying to equate the sacrifice of ones body for some higher purpose or “path.” As if their torment and pain would have somehow benefited others and that they freely chose that. I can see other conceptual reason to elect suffering over health and well being.
Still, I do agree with the basis of your argument- that we are not “the body or physical mind.”
Please explain the “higher level” above LOA…..
Correction: I can see NO other….
People may blame Jerry and of course Jerry is ultimately responsible. But he hasn’t done anything “wrong” to deserve disease. It’s the natural progression of a lifetime. He’s getting ready for what happens next. Just imagine how AWESOME he’ll be next lifetime, and whether you and/or Esther will get to be here with him again!
So whether he lives to 85 or 150, the day will come when he leaves us here, as the day will also come when Esther also melts away. The messages, the insight, the effect they’ve had on us all, will live on and keep gathering energy.
I’m just thankful for every single moment they’ve spent sharing Abraham’s teachings, and everything they had to go through.
In the beginning, I used to look for teachings of theirs that didn’t resonate with me. Today, I can’t seem to find anything at all anymore. I am completely aligned? No yet, but I might not ever have gotten this far downstream without them.
Neither my wife and I have had the pleasure of being to an Abe event yet, so if this message gets to Jerry,
Jerry please hang on you old coot! We’ve got some more love for you too!
thank you,
Steve Soucy
I heard about Jerry being sick awhile back, and googled it and found the most horrible websites and blogs! About Abraham being a hoax, and such. Some even made out this was a demon or devil who has possessed Esther LOL
I just thought of it again, and wondered is anyone knew more about jerry and his well being. Found this blog right off and not the terrible ones. I must be aligning better.
Didn’t have time to read every post here, so maybe someone has mentioned it, but Abraham talks about “death” (croaking) as wonderful- re-emeerging into the non physical. Like maybe Jerry (if he does leave form) has done all he came here for, and wants to, and it’s time to move on. He and Esther (and Abraham) have done SO MUCH for us all, in such an overall way. Like a massive step ahead for those open to it.
So, who’s to say what happens next.
Anyway, good to find something loving and positive about this.
I hadn’t realized all that was going on (negativeness) about the Hickes and Abraham! I was shocked to see it and decided it wasn’t anything I wanted to keep in my reality after.
“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.”
In the words of Abraham, be happy, healthy, happy, healthy, happy, healthy, happy, healthy, dead. I believe this is the best way to live and exit the physical body.
I wish and hold positive thoughts that all is well.
Years back I remember hearing Abraham tell someone who was struggling with the whole concept of sickness, that for some the illness is nothing more than ‘a tipping point’ that would allow the cure, or more ‘well being’ for future generations.
Knowing that Jerry chose allopathic medicine as his ‘path of least resistance’, I was both overjoyed and amazed, that at the time this wonderful man was going through such contrast, that ‘allopathic medicine’ published that a cure for leukemia had been discovered last week. I know Jerry’s attention to his Vortex co-created this miracle. And to think the scientists used ‘neutralized HIV’ to come up with this…!!! contrast is GOOD!
Life is good, and all is well.
Esther Hicks (born Esther Weaver on March 5th 1948) I once found that online. Nothing for Jerry, but I know he is in his upper 80′s. I had tried to find out for years (like on the Abraham forums) when they were born, just curious as to their “signs” (even though I know Abraham has joked about horiscopes like it’s nothing, just what we believe it is) Esther is a Pisces. I was wondering if Jerry was a Sagittarian (I am) because of all the questions he’s always asking.He seems so open and outspoken, too.
Does anyone know that Jerry has/had leukemia? I know there were a lot of rumors around, maybe still are. Put Esther Hicks, or Jerry Hicks, etc in google and a lot comes up. Some of them (going by the preview of the website)aren’t very nice. Some seem to believe and try and prove it’s “The Esther Hicks SCAM”. To the point of some saying she is possessed by a demon (LOL)
What I notice about this, I’ve heard for years, Abraham talking about NOT going to a doctor. A doctor’s whole purpose is to find something wrong. Jerry tells a story, how when he was younger he went to dentists till he found one that told him his teeth were perfect. Abraham says “if we were in your physical shoes”- they wouldn’t go to a doctor and LOOK for things wrong to give attention to. That everything is just taking attention off it and it will go away. From what I hear, Jerry had what he thought was a spider bite (on a cruise) and when he got back went to a dermatologist and next thing he is staying home and undergoing chemotherapy (which, apparently, he is coping with very well).
Of course, I’m not saying what Jerry and Esther should/shouldn’t do with their lives- just seems to contradict what Abraham has been sayng all along. About giving attention to something and then trying to “get rid of it”.
I remember a discussion on one forum about “do Jerry and Esther have insurance?” Some seemed to think they had indicated they don’t. Maybe on the bus and cars, etc as required by law.
But health insurance. Though they once told a story about Esther going for routine checkups or tests and calling about a mistake on the bill (billed twice I think) and the nurse saying “don’t you want to know the results of your tests?” And Esther didn’t she knew they were fine, and the doctor getting upset about that because she didn’t care about her health.
Of course they are probably well off enough to not need insurance (for possible medical bills).
Not meant as a criticism,just something I’ve noticed. Sometimes there does seem to be contradictions. I remember this in a tape “Joyous Survival” which was about the big earthquake that would come someday and being prepared for it. Keeping blankets, food, water, etc in one’s car, to go somewhere and live in it, if need by. I always thought “why not align with being safe and NOT having, or being effected by an earthquake”.
I know, overall, we have to listen to our own Guidance and make our own choices.
I saw Esther and Jerry on their website. The were on vacation with their children and grandchildren. Jerry looked better. I think he is doing well. Why don’t we discuss other topics. What you give your attention manifests.
I’m sure Jerry is doing well, I never thought he wasn’t and wouldn’t be. I don’t think discussing this (i.e. the teachings of Abraham) is giving attention to negative stuff.
And anyone who thinks that is free to not get involved in it. Even involved in pointing this out (how they are seeing it- the discussion).
Abraham says to pay attention to how I feel and I didn’t feel anything but uplifted and good and positive (about Jerry) and love for them and their family, while discussing it here.
Totally agree with Carrie –
Does it bother any of you that Esther and Jerry first cooked up a phony spider bite story as a dodge, then mentioned chemotherapy as an aside, never admitting the chemo was to treat leukemia. They knew very well that Jerry’s having cancer and using conventional medicine to treat it, not good thoughts, blew the lid off this entire scam.
Esther has been faking Abraham for years, even abusing people at workshops, although public criticism ended that practice. Moreover, the happy go lucky facade of “Life is supposed to be fun” is far cry from how they truly are to anyone who knows them well. They might have been more positive and cheerful once, but the fact is that Jerry is a workaholic who is all business and Esther is prone to frequent meltdowns and bouts of bad temper.
Jerry has cancer? No surprise. They don’t live what they teach. It’s a fact. The teachings may have some grains of truth people can grow from, but in essence, it all dumbed down Seth presented in a practice copies form Sheila Gillette. If there ever really was an Abraham, don’t you think they’d have at least once come up with something original? Even the “law of attraction” was “borrowed” from the New Thought Movement in the 1920s, including much of the phrasing “Abraham,” really Esther uses. The tried to make a trademark claim on it and got shot down for obvious reasons. It wasn’t theirs to claim.
Spirituality is important stuff and when scam artists like Jerry and Esther Hicks take advantage of others’ eagerness to know more, it’s immoral, and some of you who are getting attention by riding their coattails ought to have a serious conversation with their own inner guides.
I love that the bulk of these comments are grounded in love and appreciation and wishes (as well as expectations) of well-being for Jerry & company.
Dave, I definitely have a different experience of Abraham and Esther than you do. I totally get how one could come to the conclusion you have, though. Seth and Theo’s material never did much for me, so Abraham’s work kind of sort of IS new for me. Wherever it comes from though, I’m appreciative of principles that help me embrace a more positive view toward life and a higher focus on enjoyment and well-being.
I also know this particular topic has drawn traffic to this blog that we don’t usually get … so I’m grateful to hear from folks we don’t usually rendezvous with.
I’m glad I found a place to write about this. And, if people don’t get something good from Abraham, no big deal, their choice.
Well said, Carrie. I’m going to follow your example on that.
Oh,and it doesn’t bother me about the spider bite. I think that’s really what they first thought it was. Why would they have to cook anything up? They are taught by Abraham, like everyone, the more attention you put on something, the more you create it in your reality. Whatever is going on with them, they are living their beliefs and making as little deal of it as possible. While still keeping people who know and love them informed. They are creating their lives like everyone else.
I feel good I was able to read posts here and not feel tempted to get into arguing and defending. I must be making progress LOL I like the saying (I’ve heard Wayne Dyer say it but it’s not new) “you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone, your friends won’t need it and everyone else has already made up their mind, anyway”.
It seems like Jerry and Esther Hicks have been living from that place. They have told what is going on, and left it at that. They are still creating their OWN reality and life experiences and Abraham has always stressed we don’t really want a life of NO CONTRAST. That’s how we learn and grow and ask for something better. They have also always stressed that “death is not bad” and just re-emerging into the non physical. I look for things (in teachings) that make sense and what Abraham says DOES. It makes sense and is useful. Whether it’s “fake” or not (as much as anyone really knows what is real in these things?) Doesn’t matter. It feels right and good to me, and “works” when I get into it. And when I slip- I know there is a better way and have something to aim for to get back on track.
Dear Ones,
This is the first blog where I have commented about anything concerning Abraham, Jerry, or Esther Hicks. I have known of them for many years, but I was too busy doing work invovled with Samuel, channeled by Lea Schultz, since 1984. Samuel’s work is very specific to Guardians who have a compact with him, however many of the principles of manifestation are the same. His teachings do not coalesce around LOA. It is important that teachers live the teachings, but that said, no one can know about another’s path and what that entails. I do not think that Esther is faking it. When people do what they do they are always going to be targets for those who want to disprove them. Lea, (the very wonderful channel for Samuel), lives the teachings. Many are surprised that she has one of the worst forms of systemic lupus that one can have. She has excellent medical care. Samuel says that she is a teacher through this illness and that she is in “good shape for the shape she’s in” When one sees her, in public and private, she is pretty, beautifully dressed, tiny, positive, gracious, asks for help when she needs to. When you approach her and ask a question, (I have been to the house many times), you feel that you are the only person in the room. She has had difficult periods, but within that is always “present” and happy. She lives a very full life. Samuel also says that humans can heal themselves of anything, but some things would require much focus to unwind some conditions once they have taken hold, “Why Walk on Water When You Can Take the Boat?”. Even with surgery etc. you can use your positive outlook to alter the experience and touch other lives in the process. Why would anyone want to stay in these bodies forever? A being’s soul may choose a specific condition to eventually exit physical life. This does not mean the crux of the teachings are inaccurate. J and E are still in human form living it the best they can:-) NO ONE, and I mean no one, has the bigger picture of their experience nor can judge that. I applaud and thank them for what they have given to the world, (some of which will be more fully realized in years hence). It takes courage to be willing to be on the world stage in such a way as to be a target for many who speak in fear and see always what is wrong. I have also had a session with Theo and like them very much. I appreciate all the other comments made here:-)
Esther isn’t faking anything. No one could speak, answer, communicate like that from a “human” level. Not to say someone couldn’t be as total open, honest, outspoken and at the same time “kind” (egoless- not criticial, lecturing, etc) like that. But, I think at some point the “ego” part (for want of a better term) would come through. I’ve read a few websites putting them down and saying they’re a hoax and Esther is possessed by a demon, etc that give what they feel are examples of Esther being pushy and mean, but I have listened to them for over 10 years now. And think if people want to see anything critical, demanding, mean, etc from Abraham (or the Hickses) they must be LOOKING for this. And if you look for something enough, you will find it.
I know someone who got interested in the Abraham tapes (and YouTubes) but only could listen, and discuss it with others by calling it “Esther Hicks”. That it was Esther, as a motivational speaker. At one point I realized the person was now saying she thinks it’s all a “crock”. Couldn’t accept the fact it might be non phyiscial energy, and just listen. Abraham never tells anyone what to do, or think or feel. Just makes suggestions for what might be better. It’s always free choice.
I had no idea of the “bad stuff” that was being said about Abraham/the Hickes until recently, when I tried to find news of Jerry’s health. That had come to my attention in a negative way (like will the Abraham scam be closed down now that Jerry has cancer!”)
I’m sure Jerry and Esther will miss each other, whoever goes first (into the non physical) but they also know it’s not really that far away. No one is really “gone”.
What Abraham teaches makes more sense to me than what I’ve read and heard that religions teach. And some of them make no sense at all. I first got a hint about this idea from A Course in Miracles. It just made sense, and I like things that do.
But, to each his or her own, of course. If nothing else, Abraham teaches about ALLOWING.
I am curious Dave Stone, do you know Esther and Jerry well enough to make those allegations?
I would guess that if Dave knew Jerry and Esther he WOULDN’T be making accusations about them being fake.
Nice reminder from Abe posted on Laura Gevanter’s facebook page today:
“We would like you to reach the place where you’re not willing to listen to people criticize one another… where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong… where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people…you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world.” – Abraham
I have been missing my fat green monster – so will post this comment :- I received this Abe message through my email box today and thought that it was most appesite to some of the more querulous comments that have been posted here of late and whoops there it appeared posted by Jeanette on 22nd Aug.
I would also like to add that I cannot understand how in the world people can call Esther’s channeling a scam. Let those same people have questions addressed to them out of the blue on every subject and then let them try to answer at the extremely fast fluid pace that Esther channels Abe and make it all up as they go along.. ie answers of such rarified wisdom, positivity and which are tailored to satisfy each question/questioner. The wisdom just flows it is never contrived and halting in anyway and is never tainted with ego. Perhaps these ‘wise-guys’ who cannot simply tune into their inner knowing in order to be convinced – perhaps they should practice a bit of ‘contrived channeling’ themselves and let them find out how easy it is. I have been a member of the international ‘Toastmaster’s’ the public speaking organisation and it is not even easy to speak ‘earthtalk’ extemporaneously and flowingly on a variety of subjects : )
I got that quote on FB today, too and reposted it.
And, I guess if people want to call Esther (and jerry) a SCAM or hoax or whatever, even though they don’t ask for a cent, like donations (like a lot of the so-called “spiritual” speakers do) it’s up to them. This is where “allowing” comes in.
“You know you are an allower when you can look on all around you and feel joy” (paraphrased from memory. “The Law of Allowing” from one of the special subject tape sets. Old but good.)
We can be gratful to those who show us this, either by their example or by their giving us a chance to remember and practice it.
David, nothing about Abraham bothers me…I love Esther and Jerry for taking this journey and allowing us to come with them. I have spent very little money compared to the inspiration I have gained. David why waste your time in so much neg. thoughts…we don’t have long here …why not find as many ways to support the positive and find happiness. Most of the people who listen to Abraham CD’s get this…and many who don’t even know Abraham get these basic concepts of positive thinking.
