This short clip is from the orginal version of The Secret with Esther Hicks talking about how we are all surrounded by Well-Being. I was inspired to post it here after having an experience today while walking around a pond near my home. Watching the ducks and the geese effortlessly paddling along, seeing a small frog sunbathing on the footpath, and taking in the beauty of nature around me, I felt an overwhelming sense of wellbeing. Just stopping for a moment to be fully present and feel it made such a difference in how the rest of my day went. It helped me see that despite whatever challenges come up, all is well.

Lisa Nichols
Wow! I have been all over the Internet checking out the websites of all the teachers in "The Secret", and I have to say that they are all doing some amazing work in this world. Tonight I listened to an interview between Bill Harris and Lisa Nichols on the website:
http://www.themastersofthesecret.com/
(Just register your name and email address, and you'll have access to the interview).
Lisa Nichols replaced Esther Hicks in "The Secret - Extended Edition", which I personally wasn't too fond of, but after listening to that interview, I have a newfound respect for Lisa. They don't really go into who she is in the movie. To me it seemed she just kind of "filled in" for Esther Hick's absence.
Well, in the interview, she talks more about her passion of working with inner-city teens and her mission to prevent teen suicides. To date, she has worked with 60,000 teens and prevented 1800 suicides! I checked out her website after the interview, which is: http://www.lisa-nichols.com/index2.htm and read more about her "Motivating the Teen Spirit" programs. This woman is a Force of Nature! Now I'm pleased to see that she was involved in "The Secret" and is using her passion to teach teens the Law of Attraction so they too can turn their lives around.

Why isn't Esther Hicks in the Extended Edition?
The following is a letter from Jerry and Esther Hicks...
Dear Friends,
Nearly two years ago, while on-board our Mexican Riviera Cruise, Prime Time Productions did an interview with Jerry and me, and with Abraham, in response to an agreement that we had all carefully crafted together for a television show that was to be aired in Australia called "The Secret." We were told that "The Secret" would be based on our work and that they would seek out other teachers who were in alignment with our work.
We reviewed, on DVD, two other projects that had been created by this production company and found them to be beautifully done, and good-feeling pieces. Since Jerry and I had never before stepped into the public forum in that way with our Abraham work, we followed the advice of our publisher, who introduced us to an intellectual property rights attorney who assisted us in drafting the agreement which would guide our involvement with this project.
He explained to us that although he had included in the intellectual property rights license agreement that we were to receive a small percentage of the net profit from this project, and 10% of direct video sales, that it was very unlikely that (from his experience) we would receive any substantial compensation from our participation, and we were not unhappy with that arrangement.
Our decision to do it was not motivated from the idea of making money from it, (unless there was profit to share) but because we were stimulated by the excitement of this beautiful producer, and when we met her and her beautiful crew, we easily loved them all. As time went by, it became apparent that the television network that we had been told would air "The Secret" was not going to do it, at least not right now, and so the production company began seeking other ways of marketing their beautiful project to recoup their very large investment.
While Jerry and I were uncomfortable with what felt to us like a rather aggressive marketing campaign (just not our style, nothing wrong with it),we stayed focused on our busy schedule and really had very little to do with what was happening with "The Secret." Eventually we received an email from the producer of "The Secret" lovingly explaining (we never have received correspondence from her that was anything other than extremely loving) that the contract that we had all agreed upon and signed was no longer sufficient for their further distribution of the project in the areas they were now seeking to distribute the project, and that it would be necessary for us (Jerry and Esther) to relinquish our intellectual property rights in these areas forever and redo our contract, or they would have to reluctantly edit us out.
It was clear, from the lovingly written email that they did not want to edit us out, but after conferring with our publisher, and then our intellectual property rights attorney, and finally with Abraham, allowing them to edit us out was the path of least resistance. Abraham's words were very clear and easy to understand: "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. Otherwise there is always another, and this, and this, and this…"
Now, it seems there is quite a firestorm surrounding our dis-involvment with "The Secret". We are receiving so many emails and letters and face-to-face questions from disappointed people regarding this, so we want you to understand how we feel about it.
We think that "The Secret" clearly and beautifully presents Abraham's Law of Attraction in a way that is easy to understand. It is filled with stunning beauty and beautiful people, many of whom are our personal friends. We love the way "The Secret" moves us, and we feel joy rise within our hearts every time we watch it. We feel the power of it, and the clarity of it, and we love "The Secret".
It is our desire that, rather than being upset that our part of "The Secret" will be omitted in future offerings of it, that instead you enjoy the original Abraham version, as it is, at this time, and that you look forward to what other incredible things these talented people may bring to you. These are people who clearly care about the planet, who want to be of value, and who, in our opinion, are of tremendous value.
Financially speaking, we have been very well paid for our participation with this project… which has amounted to a staggering amount of money. And if money were the most important factor, we assure you, we would have found some way of staying involved. So, we're out here doing our thing, enjoying the incredible expansion of the message of Abraham, and are so looking forward to the wonderful things that are in our future.
Abraham says to us and to you: "It is our desire that you be easy about all of this. There is nothing that has gone wrong here. Everything is in alignment. The Universe will offer a steady stream of uplifting avenues to all of you. There is great love here for you, Abraham."
Our love,
Jerry & Esther
