Welcome, truth seekers! If you’ve been pondering over the question, “Who is Esther Hicks and is she alive now?” you’ve landed at the right place. Let’s dive into her enigmatic world, the Law of Attraction and spiritual channeling.

By David Stone

First things first, let’s clear the air. Esther Hicks is alive and well1. Despite some confusion due to another woman’s demise2, our Esther Hicks – the spiritual teacher and the claimed channeler of spirits named Abraham – continues to share her wisdom, much to the delight of her followers and the skepticism of critics.

What’s the goal?

Esther Hicks is no ordinary woman. She’s a spiritual teacher who claims to channel a group of spirits known as Abraham3.

Her teachings, often referred to as the Teachings of Abraham, revolve around the Law of Attraction – the belief that positive thoughts attract positive experiences and vice versa3.

But Who Is Esther Hicks?

Her journey began as a simple, divorced mother. It was her second husband, Jerry Hicks, who introduced her to the world of spiritual teaching4.

Together, they spread the word about the Teachings of Abraham. However, their journey faced a major setback when Jerry Hicks tragically passed away from cancer in 201156.

This raised eyebrows among many, questioning the efficacy of the Law of Attraction if Jerry, a practitioner himself, succumbed to such a serious illness7.

The controversy doesn’t end there. Esther Hicks’ teachings have sparked debates on their validity and have even been called a cult7.

Some critics bluntly critique the Law of Attraction, arguing that it oversimplifies life’s complexities and gives false hope7.

Yet, despite the controversies and criticisms, she remains a prominent figure in spiritual teaching. She continues to share her wisdom and teachings, influencing many around the globe1.

Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, one thing is certain: Esther Hicks has left an indelible mark on the world of spiritual teachings.

So, there you have it! A quick dive into the life and controversies surrounding Esther Hicks. As of October 11, 2023, she continues to be a beacon of spiritual wisdom for her followers and a subject of debate for skeptics1.

What the Promenade Remembers

A morning walk, a small act, and the quiet difference between what we notice and what we leave behind.

The light on the East River in the early morning is different from the light anywhere else on the Island. It comes in low and sideways, catching the water in long, uneven flashes. On certain days it makes the promenade feel less like a walkway and more like a corridor someone once meant to finish but never quite did. When I was younger I found the suggestion to stop and look at it faintly ridiculous.
