Introducing Abraham The Secret Behind The Secret
Introducing Abraham The Secret Behind The Secret

On this inspirational DVD program, Esther and Jerry Hicks present the teachings of the Non-Physical entity Abraham, whom Esther calls infinite intelligence and Jerry refers to as the purest form of love I have ever encountered. The Law of Attraction is never more evident than in the pulse of an Abraham-Hicks Art of Allowing Workshop. And this is one of the years best, The Secret Behind The Secret…so sit back, relax, allow, and attract! Abraham defies explanation. Defies reason. Defies logic. Defies what many call common sense. So forget what you re seeing. And concentrate on what you re hearing. It is the sound of your heart. Beating a little faster and a little truer. It is the sound of Abraham straight up. And once you have heard it, your life will never be the same again. This fascinating DVD, includes segments on the Trilogy, The Meaning of Life and much, much more!
User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Read the book - it's better than the movie
I eagerly anticipated the arrival of this DVD set, and was extremely disappointed once I viewed it. Unfortunately the DVD seems to be one film maker's desire to jump on the curiosity bandwagon that was catapulted into action by "The Secret" phenomenon. This DVD does not deliver on its promise of explaining "The Secret Behind The Secret" nor does it provide much information about the Abraham teachings. There is a great amount of chatter and little by way of content. This DVD is not for anyone who has ever read any of the Hicks' books.
If you know nothing about the Hicks' work or the messages and teachings of Abraham, and are interested in a SMALL peak at this information, then get this DVD if you don't mind spending the money. If however you would like value for money, buy any of their books. The main part of this DVD is an incredibly long interview with the Hicks talking about their respective lives and paths that lead them to their work with Abraham. This information is available in their books - but in their books also comes an enormous amount of other practical and useful information and content that make the books worthwhile financial and time investments. This DVD set does not. Even the channelled message from Esther is a repetition of information available in their books only on a much smaller scale.
There is an entire section devoted to interviewing spectators of the DVD at a screening. This section is unnecessarily long making it appear an exercise in self-indulgence on the part of the film maker. I am certain the entire project was done with genuine and good intent, but regrettably is not what it promises to be, and is a poor investment choice if considering purchasing a product on the subject of the law of attraction and importance of emotions. Stick to the Hicks' books or audios, give this one a very big miss.
5 Stars A Course on Life from a Master Teacher of the Universe
If I were banned from watching any TV or DVDs for the rest of my physical life, yet was allowed to choose only 1 DVD that I could watch until my physical death, it would be this one–and it would be the easiest decision I would ever have to make. Thank you so much, Abraham, Esther, Jerry & Peter.
1 Star Fake connection- don't buy - it is far better to donate your money to charity
I waited for the DVD in great anticipation only to be totally disappointed by its content. The `secret' in the DVD is that thought/brainwaves adjust the fabric of and/or events in the Universe, through a so called `Law of Attraction', to materialise more of what we want or trying to avoid because, according to a spirit called 'Abraham', the universe cannot distinguish between a positive and a negative thought. `Abraham' however provides no evidence for the existence of this `Law' of Attraction or how it has been tested and proved; indeed evidence, if any exists elsewhere, is anecdotal, selective and any reports of proof are subjective and are probably misrepresented. This observation will appear as an unpalatable truth to those already converted or to those who are being swept along by the current herd mentality but it would be unwise to hide your head in sand and not face the facts. Quantum Physics certainly does not provide any basis for this `Law of Attraction', contrary to popular belief; indeed there is no scientific basis for the existence of such a law.
I found Esther who acted as the medium, faking a "connection" with 'Abraham' (name probably historically derived from Brahma, the creator god in the Hindu Holy Trinity), from across the ether to a spiritual realm. In the DVD I found Jerry, her husband, the only, although still only partly credible, partner in this faking couple. Esther Hicks was not only insincere but quite obviously not in trance and fully conscious/awake through out this alleged 'interview' with 'Abraham'. She is very sharp and this may be why she has fooled her audience so long. Many of the views expressed were demonic; I particularly disliked Esther's AKA 'Abrahams' assertion that animals are very happy/willing parties who look forward to be killed and eaten over and over so that their spirits can be reborn time and again into this physical earth plane; this is insulting to ones intelligence- surprisingly this does not apply to us humans- thus on this basis she justifies factory farming (imprisonment followed by murder sanctioned to satisfy a human lust for consuming flesh) imposed on non-humans (animals) but not us! Surely we are simply a slightly more evolved species of monkey as DNA analysis completely proves. Nor may we be as intelligent as we would like to believe as was proved in very recent memory experiments where University students scored much lower than Chimps. I wonder what Charles Darwin would have said? Reading between the lines of the 'interview' it seems that at least the personal improvement coach Deepak Chopra, does not subscribe to these absurd Hicks's views; three cheers for him for refusing to join this bandwagon of quacks/ new age gurus and seeing the obvious flaws in the so called law! Readers wishing further enlightenment are urged to study a recent book by Kevin Hogan and Dave Lakhani et al entitled `The secret behind the secret law of attraction' which nicely exposes the real TRUTH about this so called `Law' in greater detail. While I applaud positive thinking coupled with persistence as probably the highest principle that leads to successful accomplishment of human desire, the concept of the 'Law of Attraction' is no more than clever marketing of hopefulness to the frustrated masses facing the actual cruel reality of life.
Simply put, logic states that if the Universe was succumbing to personal whim, as required by the `Law of Attraction', there would be utter chaos out there and not the order your senses actually perceive. So rather than wasting your money or precious time purchasing and watching the Hicks superstitious nonsense, I suggest you donate the cash to a charity or carryout charitable works to help those less fortunate than yourself; believe me you will feel much better for doing it and gain much more by having done so.
5 Stars Authentic Generosity of Spirit
As the webmistress at abraham-hicks.com and a person who values integrity, I found The Secret Behind the Secret to be refreshing and authentic. The experience of listening to Jerry and Esther describe how their process evolved with the teachings of Law of Attraction resonated strongly in my heart with the Truth of their works.
In my life, I've studied many philosophies and Spiritual paths. I have a graduate degree in Psychology; certified as a Jungian analyst as well as a corporate trainer and am also certified as a Meditation teacher through the course work of Sanaya Roman and Duane Packard. I like to think I am well read; >) AND the Law of Attraction teachings as presented by Abraham (with Esther and Jerry Hicks' help) surpasses every concept and system I know for the understanding of Self and the realization of emotional fulfillment.
What I love about The Secret Behind the Secret DVD is the willingness of Jerry and Esther Hicks to share themselves, their evolution in the work, and the essence of the teachings with such warmth and generosity of Spirit.
1 Star Not worth the money
This was a repeat - I did not gain any information from this. I didn't care to hear about how they got where they are. I wanted further clarification on the process and it wasn't there. I'm mad that I wasted the money.

The Secret is the latest and by far the worst example of a HIGHLY profitable trend where self-help gurus with fabricated new age titles and little relevant education, credentials or legitimate expertise brainwash us into believing that they know what is best for us, our marriages and our families.
Often their only contribution to society is introducing some exotic sounding, new age philosophy. However, they often cleverly form an incestuous group of like-minded “experts” who cross-promote each other by swearing their success is due to following the beliefs of another member of their “cult!” All the while, they ply the airwaves jockeying for an ever-larger audience by appearing in the national media to garner third-party endorsements.
The Self-Help Movement has become the Self-Destruct Movement by diminishing or destroying our critical thinking skills to choose and evolve on our own. We have given up the freedom to build healthy lives, marriages and families based on our unique history and life experience. Instead many victims, blinded to the value of their own life experiences, are attracted to the latest secret in self-help, in an attempt to find out what they should think, feel and how they should act… this is the definition of a cult.
The solution is a return to our (common) senses! The best way out of this learned “self-helplessness” is to go cold turkey. Stop following ALL self-help gurus now. Begin, instead, to reclaim your natural, God-given ability to think for yourself. The common sense that was once readily available to all of us is still there free of charge and waiting to be applied to just about any challenge we might face in life… all you have to do is use it.
Please, let's all work together to stop the flock of "sheepeople" who blindly move from one UNPROVEN concept to the next, looking for the answers to life's challenges that you already possess and that is the OBVIOUS!
