🔮 Behind the Scenes of The Secret: 5 Astonishing Truths About the Disappearance of the Original Teachers
✨ Introduction: A Hidden Life Lesson in the Story
The documentary The Secret and its central idea of the “Law of Attraction” undeniably created a worldwide phenomenon. Yet behind this powerful creation lies another hidden layer—an even more fascinating and complex true story involving Esther and Jerry Hicks (the voices of Abraham), who were at the heart of the film’s original version.
This isn’t just “5 surprising facts.” It’s the story of how the creators of The Secret were forced to face the very principles they taught—under high stakes—and how their response became the deepest lesson of all. This article reveals truths that may forever change the way you see the film.
1️⃣ Two Versions of The Secret—and the Original Starred Abraham-Hicks
When the film first premiered, many viewers were confused. Friends swore they had seen Esther and Abraham in the movie, but when they bought the DVD, they were missing. The truth? There were actually two versions of The Secret.
The first 200,000 DVDs featured Esther and Abraham at the center of the story. In fact, the original plan was even bigger: the producers had approached Jerry and Esther to create a TV series based entirely on Abraham’s teachings. But when a deal with an Australian network fell through, marketing pressures mounted—leading to conflicts that changed everything.
2️⃣ They Chose to Be Cut Out—Following the “Path of Least Resistance” 🌊
When contract disputes arose, the producers demanded full intellectual property rights. Jerry and Esther were given an ultimatum: sign over everything, or be cut from the film.
Instead of fighting a legal battle—what Abraham calls going “Upstream,” full of resistance and negative energy—they chose to “go with the flow” (Downstream). Though being cut was not what they wanted, accepting it was the path of least resistance for their well-being.
3️⃣ A Film About Revealing Secrets… Created a Secret of Its Own 🤐
Here lies the great irony: The Secret claimed to reveal hidden knowledge, yet by removing Abraham, the producers themselves concealed the most essential part of the teaching—non-physical guidance.
In essence, they repeated the very act the film warned against: hiding the deeper truth.
4️⃣ The “Secret” Was Only a Mini Version 📖
According to Abraham, calling the Law of Attraction a “secret” is like calling gravity a secret—it’s a universal law always at work.
The real hidden truth is far greater: humans are Source Energy in physical form. Without this understanding, the Law of Attraction can feel incomplete, even frustrating. The film presented only a “mini version” of the teaching, perhaps because the world wasn’t ready for the bigger story.
5️⃣ From a Higher Perspective—No Villains, No Victims 🌌
Abraham’s highest teaching reminds us: no one is truly a villain or a victim. While the producers’ actions toward Jerry and Esther may not have been “kind,” the universe responded to their clarity and focus.
At the same time, Jerry and Esther gained massive recognition from the controversy. The key lesson: someone else’s success never takes anything away from you.
🏆 Conclusion: The Masterclass Hidden in the Conflict
The behind-the-scenes story of The Secret transformed from a contract dispute into a masterclass in conscious creation. The universe doesn’t judge who is “good” or “bad”—it simply responds to clarity and alignment.
We witnessed two powerful forms of creation:
- The producer’s relentless pursuit of her vision.
- Jerry and Esther’s choice of inner peace and energetic alignment.
Both applied the same universal law, but in different ways—and both ultimately benefited.
💡 What if we looked at our own conflicts not as battles to win, but as opportunities to choose—will we create from resistance, or from the path of least resistance?
