Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it is attracted to you by virtue of the images you’re holding in your mind. It’s what you’re thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you.
Every thought of yours is a real thing – a force.
My first thought was: you have got to be kidding. Why would I ever want to be in this position to be worrying about paying my bills or where to get money to keep me going? But I kept on reading and it continued to say that the law attracts whatever is in your thoughts, even things I do not want in my life. It told me that the Law does not see the difference between I want or I do not want. The not, the no is no different from the want. And when you make your wishes they are espoused to the universe. I believe the book is talking about communication and the clarity to be understood. Whenever statements are negative the tendency is to ignore the negative portion of the statement. So to be understood, keep the statements or thoughts positive.
The Law of Attraction — the law of creation, this is the central principal of the discussion. Wants and desires are described as frequencies that are transmitted to the Universe and thereby create what is attracted in life. The focus of wants and desires are powerful. They drive our actions and behaviors that are easily viewed by all around and are reflected back as results. In the book it is identified as our life experiences. Fighting what we don’t want takes away from our focus of what we do want. It misdirects our energy and sends out the wrong frequency. The book suggests meditation on the statement: I am the Master of my thoughts.
In addition to mastering our thoughts the book talks about knowing our feelings as it is the quickest way to know our thoughts. Mindfulness meditation is a useful tool to learn how to be in the moment and minimize worrying about the future or regretting the past. Our emotions are frequencies that enhance our thoughts. If the two are not in agreement, our requests are fuzzy and answered in unexpected ways.
The Secret details the process of creation of our wants and desires:
1. Ask – Be clear about your request; remember to align your feelings and thoughts.
2. Believe – Have unwavering faith, believe it is already yours. Act as if it has already materialized. This brings to mind the phrase: Fake it until you make it.
3. Receive - Do not worry how you’re going to get it but that it already exits. To worry how this will get accomplished will send out a frequency that will confuse the request. Your emotions will no longer be in balance with your thoughts. If you try to force it into action it will be a step backwards; the desire should be effortless action.
The process is difficult. Making a clear concise request, believing it can materialize and acting as if it has been received takes a belief in ourselves, feeling that we deserve it and develop a mastery of our thoughts and feelings.
The secret about The Secret is to BE and FEEL happy now! It is the fastest way to actualize your wants and desires. Work on yourself to know what makes you happy and proceed from there.
As an epilogue to writing this review, I asked to win 10 million dollars. I went to
http://thesecret.tv/ and printed out their download check, filled out my name, the numeric amount and the value in words. Then I pasted it somewhere I would continue to see it. I have not yet received even a portion of the funds but after two years in transition I am in the process of getting a position with the City of New York. I am on my way and need to continue practicing.
