It seems as though Esther is speaking from the perspective of her total being. So I think we can say that Esther's inner being, higher self or higher mind is the translator of the messages of the collective consciousness known to us as Abraham; bearing in mind that higher consciousness doesn't communicate using the same kind of language as us physical beings.

It makes sense when you think about it, because without an interpreter who understands both physical and spiritual languages, how could we communicate with clarity and certainty? Indeed, I believe that the part of us which feels pulled towards Abraham's messages is our higher self or inner being, because it recognizes clarity and truth in the messages.

And it seems as though our rational mind needs concepts and labels before it will allow this kind of information to be considered and then, maybe, accepted. So use whatever label works for you. In my view, the important thing is to examine the information from the messages and if it feels right, to prove to yourself if it is valid or not. And if it doesn’t feel good, for whatever reason, look for something that does and go deeply into that :)

I personally do not think the Hicks are sincere. My gut tells me they are more into marketing than spirituality. I own all of their books:)

Thank goodness that this is a website where people do not get "flamed" for their opinions.

My juries out on this one. Ive read a lot of her work and listened to most of the stuff on U tube.

I must say that a lot of what she says resonates with me.Her views on slowly and incrementally increasing statements of faith make a lot of sense.Also her method of always reaching for a better feeling thought ( sometimes only a bit better ) makes good sense too.

Ive been a little confused because i believe were all one with source and yet Esther deals with an intermediate entity or group. My personal belief is that she gets her inspiration DIRECTLY from her creator whether she realises this or not.Now ive got to stress thats my point of view and ive no proof either way.

When i think of Esther i think also of the many writers of the book we call the bible and indeed all the other spiritual works. How do we really know that everything written by ..lets say the apostle Paul is absolutely 100% from God. Was absolutely every single word written done so by the express orders and inspiration of Source? And can anyone actually prove that?

Is the book of Mormon inspird by Source to any extent? Its adherants would claim it was just as inspired as the regular cannon of scripture.Many would disagree .

I tend to read everything put in front of me. If it resonates i study and use it.If it doesnt i discard it. If 50% of something resonates then a take the 50% and leave the rest.

Of couse the acid test is , does this work in any way for me.Does it produce results on the within and the without.

We can only test these things for ourselves and decide for ourselves. For what its worth i would say the majority of Hicks work IS inspired.To what extent im not entirely sure, and of course its only MY gut feeling.

I believe that Abraham is the innerbeing for all of us. I have my own conversations with Abraham and I feel their guidance in my life all the time.
