And you don't have to fear death, because the part of you that is really you is eternal, it doesn't die.

Whereas Abraham-Hicks tells you that this reality is fun, and joyful, it is good to be here, and nothing needs to be painful or difficult, once you understand how your thoughts create your reality. If you know how, you can magically create whatever you want to create (it's also like illusion) ... and eventually, when you die, you can just go on to another plane of consciousness, and do it all over again. Because the part of you that is really you is eternal, it doesn't die.

Great post. I'd say this is the difference exactly. And if you look at it from another perspective, it's not really such a big difference. Because what Abraham is saying is that when you align with your inner being (the call of Source within you), life is fun and joyful. And if you see this alignment that they speak of as being in line with Eckhart's access to that other plane of consciousness, there really isn't a big difference, except in the approach.
