"The Secret" Simplified
Printable Version
Ever wonder how the great people that
live in the history books did it? Have you ever wondered what
exactly it was that made them so different or special, that they
were able to do the things they have? What secret did they have
you wish you knew? Did they know "The Secret"? Do you?
If you haven’t heard of it already, you
will want to check it out. It is a DVD that has the strongest
buzz I’ve experienced in quite some time. It highlights the “law
of attraction” and how powerful your thoughts can be. This
film/documentary demonstrates what the power of thought and
feeling can do in your life. Many stories and examples of how
easy it can be to create the life you desire are illustrated. I
have had many personal experiences as well as those of my
clients who have found this flick to be profoundly empowering
and life transforming. Don't miss it! (

“The Secret” really isn’t a secret at all. The concept that your
thoughts and feelings create your reality is as old as Adam &
Eve. As mankind has progressed in it's proliferation of
negativity the concepts and principles of "The Secret" have been
buried and almost seem a myth. There is something special about
this film that really hits home and gets you thinking and
feeling about the possibilities that are available to you when
you work the concepts.
I have had many questions about why people feel “The Secret”
doesn’t seem to be working in their own lives as successfully as
did in Jack Canfield’s life. The reason for that isn’t simple.
There are many factors that also play into thinking and feeling
your way to bliss. Unfortunately “The Secret” can only cover
just so much ground. The ground it covers is an excellent
foundation. It is when you begin to get serious about creating
your life that you bump into some of the factors that may
prevent you from having what you want.
The foundation concept in “The Secret” , is that what you think
and feel about manifests in your life. If you are thinking and
feeling positive things you attract them into your life. If you
think and feel negative things it will attract negative things
into your life. This concept is right on, it just isn’t taking
into account all of the thoughts you may be really having, and
how they may be inhibiting you from creating positive things.
For example, let us say you are tired of your work situation and
aching for a career change. Every night before you go to bed you
say to yourself “I want a new job”. You may pray for it,
negotiate with God for it, yet still it doesn’t seem to show up
as a blossoming opportunity. There could be many reasons.
One of the reasons may be, your conscious thoughts and feelings,
may not be the same as your subconscious thoughts and feelings
on the subject. For instance, let’s say the last time you
switched jobs you were nervous and stressed for the first month
and had trouble sleeping every night of that month. That memory
and association is stored in your subconscious. When your
subconscious catches on to your "want" for a new job, this is
what it will remember and dwell on underneath the surface of
your conscious mind. In essence your conscious will be shouting
out “I want a new job” and your subconscious will be screaming
“Noooo, that was hell last time, I don’t want that!” This sends
out conflicting energy and mixed messages out into the universe,
resulting in muddied opportunities, half chances, and probably
some mix of good and bad luck.
The real kicker is…your conscious thoughts and feelings are only
about 5% of the thoughts and feelings you’re having. The other
95% belongs to the subconscious. Given those percentages which
do you think has more power? The subconscious is an incredibly
powerful tool for transformation. Problem is, other than
dreaming at night, it is an area of the mind you are not
familiar with. When you are not familiar with it….it is
difficult to know what it is thinking and feeling.
Not knowing what the real thoughts and feelings you are carrying
about something and what you associate with it can be the
biggest stumbling block to having your desires never come to
fruition. Learning how your mind works and what you have stored
there gives you the opportunity to clean out all the junk, all
the negative thoughts and feelings preventing you from creating
and living the life you choose.
I think one of the most important points brought out in “The
Secret” is that you must be in alignment with what you want. You
must be consciously and subconsciously thinking, feeling,
imagining and believing it is already yours. Clearly doing that
is a process. Well worth it though, because when you are in
alignment, you get results, swiftly and usually in a big way!
How do you get in alignment? What process do you use to get
clear? These are questions that get answered in the Life Shaping
course if you would like to engage in designing and creating
your future. There are also some good books on the subject as
well, like “Creative Visualization” by Shatki Gawain. (See

The most important step to getting clear and aligned is to start
paying attention. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings
and then ask yourself “why do I think or feel that way”. Every
time you answer “why”, you are getting clearer. Keep digging,
and asking “why” till you get to the core belief or association
that has formed your desire or fear. This method helps to bring
you beyond your conscious mind and delving in to the
subconscious. Then it becomes easier to identify what thoughts
and feelings serve you, and which buried ones do not. Once you
get good at this, it will become habit, and then you will start
to manifest from clarity!! |
