Esther Hicks & Theo

Before Esther Hicks began sharing the teachings of Abraham, she and Jerry met Sheila Gillette, who channelled a group of archangels known as Theo. Esther wanted to know how she and Jerry could move towards their goals more quickly. Theo’s advice was simple: use affirmations and meditate.

Meditation was new to Esther, so she asked what it actually involved. Theo suggested that she sit quietly, focus on her breathing and gently return her attention to it whenever her mind wandered. Theo also gave her a personal affirmation and told her something she hadn’t expected to hear: that she could channel, too.

Jerry & Esther Meet Theo

Shortly after being quite devastated about the news of Jane Roberts' death, Jerry and Esther's friends and business associates came to them with a recording that they wanted them to listen to. Their friends were acting a little strange so Esther asked them what it was about.

They said it was channelled. Esther asked, "What do you mean?" As their friends started explaining what they meant about channelling, Esther realized it was the same process they had been experiencing via the Seth books.

Their friends advised them that there was a woman they could meet with and ask any questions they wanted. This woman was in contact with a non-physical entity, just as Jane Robert's was.

Sheila Gillette & Theo

Her name was Sheila Gillette and the non-physical entity was Theo. Sheila started communicating with Theo in 1969.

Theo describe themselves as twelve archangelic beings here to enlighten, teach, and mentor humanity during this time of changing consciousness.

Even in today's world, I don't believe the majority of people are ready to hear that humans can communicate with non-physical entities.

We are, however, certainly becoming more curious and perhaps a little more accepting. I can only imagine the degree of skepticism Sheila must have often encountered in the late 1960's.

Affirmations & Meditation

Esther Hicks' first question to Theo was, "What can we do to move faster toward our goals?" And Theo said, "Affirmations and meditate." The affirmation that Theo gave to Esther was:

The process of meditation seemed strange to Esther. She didn't know anyone who meditated and couldn't imagine herself doing it. Her mind conjured up images of walking on hot coals and laying on beds of nails.

She continued on however and asked Theo, "What do you mean by meditate?" And Theo said, "Sit in a quiet room, wear comfortable clothing, and focus on your breathing and as your mind wanders (and it will), just release the thought and focus back on your breathing."

Theo then went on to tell Esther that she too was a channel. She was confused that this could be the case as they had no knowledge of it. Esther asked one final question, "Who is my spiritual guide?" Theo responded by saying, "We are told it will be given to you directly. You'll have a clairvoyant experience and you will know."

Sheila, Theo, Esther & Abraham

Being the curious cat that I am, I have often wondered why Sheila Gillette and Theo, have not received the worldwide acclaim that Esther and Abraham have. The reasons could be many and varied, and perhaps I will never know.

I'm guessing that in 1969, when Sheila discovered Theo, mass consciousness wasn't as ready and willing to receive channelled information as when Esther started to communicate with Abraham.

Another possibility is that Sheila and her husband, Marcus, may have wanted to keep to themselves (although I believe Esther very much wanted that too!). If that is the case with Sheila and Marcus, that was blown out of the water the moment the world met Abraham :).

From all that I have studied about Sheila, Theo, Esther and Abraham it does seem that the two gifted women have a warm regard for one another. I, for one, am extremely grateful that Esther and Jerry decided to meet Sheila all those years ago.

The world has changed in the most wonderful, exciting ways as a result of their union. People are starting to wake up to who they really are because of entities like Theo and Abraham.
