Esther Hicks’ Blind Spot: Animal Suffering February 8, 2010 Abraham Esther Hicks Denies Animal Suffering Many of you may be familiar with Esther and Jerry Hicks, the authors of the Law of Attraction books. I mentioned my take on these two characters from the start (flaky!), but have managed to extract valid information from their books anyway, which they claim to channel from a non-physical entity named “Abraham”. {The name business – Jehova, Abraham… names don’t matter, and it would make sense that two people with religious upbringings would choose a religious sounding name to speak their inspirations through.} The reason that I read past the self-promoting forwards of Esther and Jerry (which go so far as to claim that they are the happiest people they know – how depressing!), is because I feel that the information about the Law of Attraction is out there for anyone to access and if these two individuals are able to break it down in an easy to digest manner, then take what you can from it, and other sources, of course. In the latter portion of the Abraham-Hicks book: “The Power of Deliberate Intent”, which has some very lucid moments, Esther/Abe talks to an animal lover. Here is what she has to say: “The only difference worth mentioning between human and beast is that the beast, without exception, is more turned in, tapped in, turned on. They are more in touch with who they really are.” Esther/Abe speaks of how our animal companions are of the same Energy Stream as humans. Now, on the prior page, she talks about how easily translation can morph, and specifically tells us not to trust her: “… we do not think it is a good idea to count on Esther’s translation. We think you should get your own.” The interesting part follows: The mystical “Abraham” who offers loving help to all those who ask, has this to say: Guest: “I struggle with allowing family and friends who eat animals (due to the suffering of the animals) especially when co-habiting with someone who desires to have dead animals in my refrigerator and cook them in my house. Can you help me with this?” Abraham: “Not really.” (Abraham, who has an answer for absolutely everything, has their hands tied here. Could this be because Esther Hicks is not a vegetarian?) Abraham: “Well, you have set yourself up for a lot of grief because you keep beating the drum. You used every word that you could to make that a bad thing. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot vehemently disapprove of that and have dead carcasses in your refrigerator at the same time. Something must give – and we would work on getting in flow with the nature of things.” (Esther firstly negates the guest’s statement, telling her that slaughtered animals are not something bad, but something she has made bad. And instead of suggesting that said guest possibly ask for change, Esther says: suck it up, biotch.) “It is possible that some ruler could become so powerful and get such a big bomb that he could convince all other humans to eat animals, but you are not going to convince other animals to not eat animals.” (So… Esther thinks that the only way people would stop eating meat is if a Hitler-type threatened to kill everyone?) “The big one is always going to eat the little one. In other words, the big fish is always going to eat the little fish. (Thanks for saying the same thing twice in a row. Is someone a little flustered? This is getting almost Sarah Palin. This statement completely defies everything that Esther teaches, because she teaches that objective truth is simply a set of decisions that have already been made. She teaches to create one’s own reality – NOT base it on what has always been.) “And when you understand that the animals coming forth come forth knowing that, then you do not make it such a big deal.” (Esther – have you SEEN factory farming these days? It has nothing to do with the food chain or a natural rhythm, it denies animals their lives from birth. It is not natural or humane.) “And we promise you that, as clear-minded as these beasts are, if it was not a game they wanted to play, they would not come forth again and again to play it with you.” (Yes, these animals ask to be raped, kept pregnant their entire lives to have their babies ripped away from them when they would typically carry on life-long relationships. They want to be dipped in vats of boiling water alive, have their necks slit while hung upside down. Have their beaks and nads chopped off without painkillers. This is the game they want to play.) “You do not have to eat meat, but do not push against something that is so prevalent in our society that you have to cringe about it.” (Translation: there is nothing you can do about it so shut up, okay? Normally, Esther would suggest reaching for a better -feeling thought: eg. there are currently systems of unnecessary violence in our world, but we are evolving to a more compassionate species. She would suggest to dream big: eg. Wouldn’t it be nice if humans could live without violence? She would suggest turning it over to the universe. eg. Things to Do – Universe: stop animal testing, end the Commercial Seal Hunt, create a compassionate vegan society. But in this case, Esther the repressed vegetarian says: sorry, can’t help you. Haven’t faced that issue myself yet. Mmm… bur-gers….) ***** Martin J from the Vegan & Vegetarian Society of Queensland has this to say : “The problem is that “Abraham” appears to know nothing whatsoever of the suffering endured within factory farms, and when directly interviewed as to whether meat eating is morally wrong they reply to the tune that “the beasts of the world eat each other within a natural food chain situation of which we are the highest form (untrue) and therefore that eating meat is morally fine etc” and go so far as to actually claim that “animals who come to this planet have chosen this fate and they are OK with being eaten, for it is their destiny!” (Even as a toddler this did not sit well with me as my mother tried spooning meat into my mouth using an animated animal voice such as “baaaa Im a little lambey, I want you to eat me”, so I aint falling for that one 30yrs on either lol). When the interviewer pressed on that “animals in todays society are NOT roaming freely under natural conditions as a ‘food chain’ scenario would suggest” Abraham Hicks looks perplexed, as though they didnt understand the question and game vaguely the same reply as previously stated that eating meat is ethically sound and natural, animals come into this world wanting us to do this to them. All credibility that “Abraham” may have had was immediately lost, as it was fully realised that Esther was merely speaking from an ego consciousness, justifying her dietary habits and evidently had no idea of the situations of animals within factory farms and slaughterhouses of the modern world. All requests by myself for correspondence in relation to their statement have been ignored, they delete any comments on their YouTube videos that are unflattering in any regard and worst of all they are making millions ripping off unsuspecting seekers of truth peddalling their mediocrity.” The most peaceful, happy, conscious people will always be thrown for a loop when faced with the subject of eating animals, because there is unavoidably violence involved and they do not want to be seen as violent people. Where is the Law of Attraction in eating animals, Esther Hicks? Because if you order the killing of hundreds of animals throughout your lifetime, if you put animals through unnecessary suffering – the fear and violence you are manifesting will come back to you. It is law.
