Shortly after The Secret first came out, The Secret Version 2 was Released …

The Secret DVD & Book

… and the first version was NOT allowed to be sold!!  Many people who have watched The Secret actually watched the second version of the DVD.  The first version had Ester Hicks in it, the second version doesn’t!

I don’t profess to know what went on between Rhonda Byrne & The Secret team and Ester & Jerry Hicks.  Being reasonably close to Rhonda Byrne and her sister Glenda, plus the Drew Harriott’s (The Secret Director) then girlfriend is a daughter of our client, I was privy to some information which most do not know.

I have been around long enough to know there is always three sides to every story … Rhonda’s, Ester’s and the Truth!  I have never personally spoken to Ester or Jerry and have nothing against them as people.  They do a great work and I honour them for who they are.  I do not take on some on their beliefs as they are contrary to what I know as the truth … and then again, nor do I uphold everything on The Secret or what some other Secret Teachers believe.

From time to time I hear and read some real rubbish!  One of those is that Ester maintains the The Secret was handed to her from the Ester ‘Abraham’ spirits and that other Teachers on The Secret and Rhonda Byrne stole The Secret from her!!  Here is what someone posted on their FaceBook Wall today:

“I am a great fan of Esther & Jerry Hicks, please understand Abraham was the first to teach “The Secret,” yes-the info was basically unfairly stolen from Abraham-channeled from the wonderful Hicks!! She/they are phenominal. Keep up the good work for Abraham, Ester, I am proud of you regardless of what anyone thinks. I was/am a ‘different’ child.”

As you guessed … I could not resist responding … here it is:

“That is so far from the truth it is ridiculous.

How do you explain The Secret being taught by Zig Ziglar, Og Mandino, Napoleon Hill, Wallace D Wattles, Thomas Troward, Apostle Paul, Jesus Christ and Moses (plus many others) long before Ester Hicks was heard of or even born?

I had never heard of Ester Hicks or the ‘Abraham’ spirits when I first started applying The Secret (long before Rhonda Byrne called it The Secret).

Apart from the obvious, how can someone steal that which is not owned by any human but rather given directly by God (not the Ester’s ‘Abraham’ spirits).”

Let me also suggest that there is a “money side” that hasn’t been told truthfully, and that the real facts to why Ester Hicks was cut out have nothing to do Ester been given The Secret or that it was stolen from her.  Just some ordinary common sense will tell you someone is using fantasy to cover up fact.  And I’m amazed by the gullible people who fall for it.

• Have you ever wondered why it was scheduled to show on ‘free-to-air’ television around the world simultaneously on February 12, 2005 and two weeks before (even after massive advertising campaigns) it got pulled …
• then in May it got release via the internet and DVD??
• Did you know it wasn’t able to be purchased online in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea until version 2 came out!?!??!

Hmmmm …. Something to think about!
