But thereвЂ™s a problem: if you came into the world, direct from God, with all this power and ultimate freedom, what went wrong? Obviously, youвЂ™re not living that way. Jerry and Esther Hicks version arrives when she is explaining that your ultimate freedom and ultimate power is part of some bargain you enter into вЂњwhen you come into this physical body.вЂќ They never explain who the bargain is with, but given other aspects of the teachings, they seems to be implying that itвЂ™s God or, as they say, вЂњSource: вЂњDo you know how loved you are? Do you know how adored you are?вЂќД®asy enough, of course, to accept that you are given life by God and are вЂњblessed.вЂќ Nothing so unusual about that.

The new age one is: вЂњвЂ¦who you really are,вЂќ as if what you are living is some odd brew of who you really arenвЂ™t. There are a couple of cliches that make my hair stand on end. The idea of creating your own reality was lifted from Jane RobertsвЂ™ Seth, by the way, but Jerry and Esther Hicks dumbed down SethвЂ™s version considerably, probably make it accessible to less educated or more gullible followers, until it became mean and goofy. Were this claim not sickening and disgustingly disrespectful to the victims and their families, you might be able to laugh. This, she concluded, proved her point that people jumping from ninety stories up to avoid being consumed in fire and others sitting calmly at their desks when a jetliner came through the windowsвЂ“all were dying by choice, then and there. She also mumbled about how a bomb attempt had previously been made on the facility, which meant people working there must have known it was a target. It is law,вЂќ Esther meandered around this preposterous claim by reminding listeners of the few non-victims who canceled their flight that day or rescheduled for another day and were spared. Stating, as usual, that there are вЂњno exceptions. Pressed to clarify this вЂњteachingвЂќ in subsequent workshops, Esther Hicks (Abraham) was asked to explain how all three-thousand victims of the World Trade Center disaster could have chosen to die that morning in a horrible conflagration none of them could have seen coming. But you get into trouble when you try to apply it to real world situations.ДЄccording to the teachings of Abraham and consistent with what they insist is the most powerful law in the universe, the Law of Attraction, each of us chooses our time of birth as well as death, making every death a suicide.

Possibly the most troubling feature of what Jerry and Esther Hicks and Abraham claim to be the вЂњTeachings of AbrahamвЂќ is that the basic claims are so fabulous no rational person would believe them if not tricked out in a clever sales pitch that reduces everything to processes or вЂњgames,вЂќ as they call them in the book.ДЇirst and most ravishing is the claim that everyone has total freedom to create whatever reality they want, вЂњno exceptions.вЂќ The converse of this is total responsibility, of course, which is what seduced most of us in the beginning.
