Otherwise there is always another, and this, and this, and this.' The letter doesn't condemn Byrne, but clarifies why Hicks no longer appears in The Secret. In an open letter posted on the internet, Hicks stated that she had been 'uncomfortable with what felt to us like a rather aggressive marketing campaign,' and that ultimately Abraham gave her the following advice: 'Whenever you are given an ultimatum that says, 'if you don't do this, then we will have to do such and such,' it is best that you just let it go and move on.

The essence of AbrahamвЂ“Hicks' teachings since 1985 has been presented as follows:

Emotions are a person's guidance system that indicates how close or distant that person is to how their Source feels about a particular topic of focus. The basic tenets of the teachings include one that says that people create their own reality through their attention and focus. Her teachings (known as 'AbrahamвЂ“Hicks teachings') are based on this experience. Д®sther herself calls Abraham 'infinite intelligence', and to Jerry, they are 'the purest form of love I've ever experienced'. We are that which is at the heart of all religions.' Abraham has said through Esther that, whenever one feels moments of great love, exhilaration, or pure joy, that is the energy of source and that is who Abraham is. You are the leading edge of that which we are.

They have also said, 'We are that which you are. Abraham has described themselves as 'a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension'.
