Jerry and Esther Hicks Biography
The master motivational speaker and spiritual channeler known as Abraham Hicks was born Esther Weaver on March 5, 1948, in Coalville, Utah. Her parents, Henry “Bill” Emerson Weaver and Ruth Blazzard Weaver raised Esther and her sisters, Jeanne and Rebecca Weaver, in Layton, Utah. Contrary to the life of blissful luxury Esther Hicks currently enjoys, she was once a small-time girl. While she was enthralled by the effects of easygoing Rocky Mountain living, Esther says she “never really thought about things too deeply”. It’s amazing to think that the host of hundreds of life-changing presentations didn’t always view life from the supernatural perspective we see today.
Esther Weaver was born in Coalville, Utah. In 1980 she married Jerry Hicks, then a successful Amway distributor. In his early life Jerry Hicks had been a circus acrobat for two years in Cuba, and then, beginning in 1948, had toured for 20 years as a musician, MC, and comedian. Esther has one daughter, Tracy, from her former marriage. Jerry Hicks died on November 18th, 2011 from cancer.
Raised on fresh mountain air and family values, Esther attended South Summit High School between 1962 and 1966. Esther’s beaming, youthful yearbook photo was captioned “Witty and Wise” by her peers.
The very first time Abraham used Esther Hicks to translate their message verbally was one day while Esther and Jerry were driving on a freeway in Phoenix.
They were rounding a corner on the Interstate that’s not very well banked and there were big trucks on either side of them whose drivers had both decided to cross into Esther and Jerry’s lane at the same time.
Esther said that it felt like they were about to be crushed and at that moment she felt something pull her jaw (similar to a yawn that you can’t stifle) and the sensation felt like Abraham was about to speak
They did speak and their words were: “take the next exit.”
They did take the next exit, parked under the freeway and Jerry talked to Abraham for the first time.
Initially, Esther made Jerry promise that he wouldn’t tell anyone because it was such a bizarre experience for her. It is clear to Esther that Abraham came forth due to the intensity of Jerry’s questions and his desire to know the answers. It was different for Esther, she didn’t have a great deal of interest in the metaphysical side of life.
Abraham has told Esther and Jerry that they made a great combination for enabling Abraham to visit because of Jerry’s desire and Esther’s relaxed disposition and her ability to quiet her mind, think in the “now” and not hold resistant thoughts.
Visiting the Seth Center
Dorothy Jane Roberts (May 8, 1929 – September 5, 1984) was an American author, poet, self-proclaimed psychic, and spirit medium, who claimed to channel an energy personality who called himself “Seth.” Her publication of the Seth texts, known as the Seth Material, established her as one of the preeminent figures in the world of paranormal phenomena.
Suffering is not good for the soul unless it teaches you how to stop suffering.
They decided to share their experience with the couple that had told them about Sheila Gillette and Theo and a few other friends. They all began to regularly share in the Abraham experience.
Jerry and Esther then moved from Phoenix to San Antonio and while they were unpacking in their new apartment they talked about publishing the book that Abraham had written, but they didn’t have any idea how to go about publishing a book.
They then came across a letter that Robert Butts (Jane Roberts’ husband) had sent to them a couple of years earlier in response to a letter from Esther. There was a brochure for the Seth Center in Austin with the letter and Jerry decided that perhaps someone there would know how to get a book of this nature published.
They made an appointment with Dr. Maude Cardwell of the Austin Seth Center. During the visit, Jerry offered Maude the opportunity to speak with Abraham. Esther says “I could’ve killed him because it was like sort of our secret”. Maude enthusiastically accepted the offer to meet Abraham and spent hours talking with them.
She then told Jerry and Esther of an International Seth Conference they were having in Austin that very weekend and asked them to come along and present. You can’t imagine Jerry passing that up, can you?
There were about 200 people at the conference and this was to be Abraham’s first public presentation. Esther describes the people at the conference as receptive, eager, and full of questions. After this initial presentation, it snowballed, and their phone didn’t stop ringing.
If you can begin to orient your thoughts by steadily looking forthings that cause you to feel good, you will begin to develop patterns of thoughts, or beliefs, thatwill help you create magnificent, good–feeling lives.
One of the guests at the conference lived in San Antonio and called and asked Jerry and Esther to join them at their weekly meeting. This is how it all began.
