Esther Hicks channels the wisdom of a group of non-physical beings that collectively call themselves Abraham. For years Esther was being contacted by these beings, and in 1986 she and her husband Jerry Hicks decided to bring Abraham's collective knowledge to the public. Through books and seminars, where Esther channels teachings directly for an audience, Abraham's teachings have spread worldwide.

Esther says when she channels she is either communicating with Abraham directly and then recording the information, or she opens her body as a vessel for Abraham to use and speak through. Abraham says their mission is to guide people toward a connection with the inner self, and to help people find true fulfillment through this connection. The following are examples of Abraham's teachings as channeled by Esther:

"The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy. You are free to choose to discover new avenues for your joy. In your joy you will grow; and in your growth you will add to the growth of All-That-Is. However, you are also free to choose bondage or pain…but everything anyone chooses is only because they believe it will help them feel better."

"You are a Physical extension of that which is Non-physical. All-That-Is, or God, is not finished and waiting for you to catch up. You are the leading edge of thought, here seeking more: more of all that feels good to you, more of that which is fresh and gloriously uplifting. You are, in essence, bringing heaven to earth."

"You cannot die; you are Everlasting life. In grace, you may choose to relax and allow your gentle transition back into your Non-physical state of pure, positive Energy. Your natural state is that of Foreverness. Have fun with all of this. Lighten up! You can't get it wrong."
