Recently watched The Secret courtesy of my awesome roommie, Bradly. I was quite shocked to see in a concise and well-presented format (with an engaging soundtrack) the summary of conclusions from all knowledge gained and lessons experienced throughout my life! And more!There is a LOT of philosophical thought that has gone into the Secret. Shades of Hedonism, a whole lot of Taoism, a good part of applied theoretical Quantum Physics, a dash of Karma, and sprinkled throughout with the Power of Positive Thinking. I fundamentally believe, with every fiber of my being that thoughts become reality (I've even written that down before!), but until now, I lacked a framework for putting that belief into practice.
That's what this video provides. And, if after all, the Secret is meant to be shared, I can only be too happy to oblidge by sharing my notes taken while watching it! My insights are in []'s... enjoy! ;)
The World's Greatest Discovery: You can have, do, or be anything you want.
The secret is the answer to all that has been and all that will ever be.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Secret is based on one fundamental law...
The Law of Attraction
Everything that is comeing into your life, you attract in your life by virture of the images in your mind... by what you are thinking!
Think of yourself as a magnet: like attracts like, but now at the level of thought.
You become what you think about most, but you attract what you think about most.
Thoughts become things. (Thoughts become reality.)
Each thought has a measurable frequency... but is grammar independent!
Problem: most people think about what they don't want, and thus, it shows up again and again. E.g., debt, being late, bad service, worries, etc. [E.g., think of debt, the universe provides debt!]
Think of what you want, and focus on it with all of your attention and the universe will provide.
Whenever you are thinking, you are invoking the law of attraction. There is no pause!
Thoughts bring about creations. Don't think about what you don't want. ;) Focus on what you want.
Postive outlooks attract positive people. Negative outlooks -> negative people.
What you think about, you bring about. Your life is the physical manifestation of the thoughts in your head.
Take heart! Postive thoughts are 100 times more powerful that negative thoughts! And, there is a time delay, which serves you, allowing you to re-assess, make new choices. (Imagine if everything appeared as you thought it!)
[But it's up to you to mind the coincidences and take action... the universe just provides... YOU must take action!]
Everything that surrounds you in your life, you've attracted. Even the bad stuff. Take responsibility, stop complaining.
Most attract by default, being auto-pilot. You may ask, "I have to monitor my thoughts?"
Yes!
Hire a researcher to build a thought-monitoring program? Maybe... but...
Can use feelings; they let us know what we are thinking. Emotions are gifts. From best to worst:
- Good
- love
- gratitude
- joy
- passion
- happiness/excitement
- joyful expectation
- hope
- satisfaction
- Bad
- disdain
- annoyance
- worry
- criticism/blame
- anger
- revenge
- hate
- resentment
- guilt
- depresion
- fear
Feel good? Keep doing that! Feel bad? Change! Feeling good creates a future that is on track with your desires, feeling bad is one that is off track.
Don't worry, don't have fear, it only brings more of that in your life.
Whatever you are thinking of today is your future!
You get what you are feeling, not what you are thinking about... that's why a bad start to a day spirals for most people.
Start each day feeling great!
Your thoughts and your feelings create your life.
You creat your own univers as you go along.
- Winston Churchill
Feeling good is important in order to keep attracting those things that will take you higher.
Think of a baby you love and you'll feel good. Think of your pet.
Become a deliberate creator of your life.
How To Use The Secret
Like Aladdin and the lamp. "Your wish is my command." The wishes are unlimited. The label is unimportant: higher self, guardian angel, etc.
Step 1: Ask. Make a command to the universe, let the universe know what you want.
E.g., I am so happy and grateful now that ...
Write it down!
Step 2: Believe. Believe that it is already yours. Have faith, believing in the unseen. The universe will arrange itself to bring to you what you want. You don't need to know how it will happen, it will be shown to you, you'll attract the way.
Don't become doubtful!!! Replace that feeling with one of unwavering faith: I know, I know, I know!
Step 3: Receive. Begin to feel wonderful about it, feel the way you will feel when it arrives- feel it now! It is important to feel good when doing it so that you emit the proper signal! It is a feeling universe... you have to feel it!
After turning the first fantasy to fact, you're ready to do it again, and that's the creative process. Test drive the dream car, house shop, etc.
[Or in my case, you can't be at the final table if you aren't in Vegas come July, so, MOVE TO VEGAS!]
Should not feel, "I should be doing this, but I would hate that..." that's not effective. Should feel joyous, alive, like time stops, and you can do all day.
Universe likes speed: [so does Clio, mixed with ecstacy!] don't delay, don't second guess, don't doubt... when the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge is there, ACT. That's your job, that's all you have to do but you must do it!
[Mind the coincidences! Another book not yet summarized - the Celestine Prophecy - also made into a movie and worth watching.]
You will attract everything you require. People, money, books. Pay attention to what you are attracted to! Thought moves into physical reality through you!
Life unfolds 200ft at a time! (Ref: to driving at night from LA to NewYork; can't see whole journey, just a few hundred feet at a time.)
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. Dr. - Martin Luther King Jr.
How long will take? Dunno. It's a matter of you being in alignment with the universe.
[Follow Tao!]
Size is of no matter to the universe, everything requires zero effort for the universe.
You provide the feelings of having it now, the universe will provide you with the means to get there. E.g., hold the image of an old friend and soon, you'll get a phone call or someone will ask you about them! E.g., visualizing car park spots and 'getting lucky' and finding one.
[The power of positive thinking... seeing the card you want flopping... visualizing that WSOP bracelet around my wrist...]
The Secret Powerful Process
Your current circumstances are just the residual outcome of your past. Not who you are, it's who you were!
Don't fear or dread bills in the mail... expect checks in the mail!
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
- Buddha
Gratitude: make of list of things to be grateful for. Things you feel good about.
What we think about and thank about, we bring about. Get up every morning and say thank you. Not rote routine, but putting out the feelings of gratitude. Be grateful for what you have.
"Gratitude rocks." Attitude of gratitude.
Visualize: when you visualize, you materialize; the mind doesn't know the difference!
If you go there in the mind, you go there in the body.
Dwell upon the end result when you visualize.
Must feel joyous, happiness, loving, thankful when visualizing.
The seeing will be an open dooirway.
What this power is I cannot say, all I know is that it exists.
- Alexander Grahm Bell
The 'how' will show up in the belief and commitment in the what. The 'hows' are the domain of the universe. It always knows the shortest, quickest, most harmonious way for your dream. This is where majik and miracles happen. [esp. if you are used to following Tao!]
Do it daily, it should never be a chore. [like meditation]
Be high, happy, in tune when you do it.
Make a habit of using the law of attraction, remember to use it all the time.
Don't give up! Believe! Create a vision board.
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attrqactions.
- Albert Einstein.
Decide what you want.
Believe that you can have it.
Believe you deserve it.
Believe it is possible for you.
Close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want and feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you are grateful for already... really enjoy it.
Go into your day and release it into the universe and trust that the universe will figure out how to manifest it.
The Secret to Money
Whatever the mind of man can concieve, it can achieve.
- William Stone
When you have an inspired thought, you have to trust it, you have to act on it.
"I would like to win the 2008 WSOP Main Event Bracelet."
Focus on abundance. Focus on prosperity.
Mantra: Money comes easily and frequently.
Life is meant to be abundant in all areas. [Shed puritan, 'life is hard' beliefs?]
We really want happiness.
The Secret to Relationships
We are creators of our universe, every wish of what we want to create will manifest itself in our life.
Understand yourself! Enjoy your own company! Do you treat yourself the way you want others to treat you? Fall in love with yourself. As you love yourself, you'll love others, they'll love you.
Write a list everyday of the things you appreciate about the other person.
We create our own happiness through the law of attraction.
The Secret to Health
Our body is the product of our thoughts. E.g., Placebo effect.
Stress is the source of all dis-ease!
The body lets us know through dis-ease that we do not have a balanced perspective and we're not loving. The symptoms, like pain, are signs to change!
Dis-ease cannot live in a body that is in a healthy, loving state. See yourself living in a perfectly healthy body, don't create more dis-ease by discussing it with family, friends. Let the doctor worry about it. Focus on all the things for which you are grateful.
Happy thoughts = happy biochemistry.
Remove the stress and the body will heal itself.
Incurable = curable from within.
Man [woman] becomes what he [she] thinks about.
The Secret to the World
Anything we focus on, we help create by adding energy to it.
What you resist persists.
- Carl Jung
Anti-X movements create more X.
Believe in trust, love, living in abundance, education, peace.
If you're anti-war, be pro-peace instead!
When the voice and the vision on the inside become more profound and clearer and louder than the opinions on the outside, you've mastered your life.
Learn to become still and take attention away form what you don't want and all the emotional charge around it and place the attention on what you wish to experience.
Energy flows where attention goes.
[and Love flows where Rosemarie goes]
Go with the flow of the universe. [Follow your Tao!]
There's more than enough good to go around, even if everyone uses the secret... we all want different things.
Every great teacher has taught that life is supposed to be abundant.
Recognize the wonderful things around you and bless and praise them.
Empower and share with others.
The Secret to You
Everything is made of the same thing: energy.
Universe -> galaxy -> planets -> plants -> animals -> individuals -> organs -> cells -> molecules -> atoms -> energy.
You are not this finite body, you are an energy field. [Your hand is not solid, but rather appears that way due to the forces of repulsion of the electrons in the atoms of which your hand is made... there is plenty of space for you to push your hand through the table... but you can't cause of energy forces! Accepting/knowing that as truth was a first step for me in my current beliefs for it taught me to see things in the very small and also, the very large.]
What creates the world? Energy. What is energy? Physics says it is never created or destroyed, always existed, moves in/out/through form. What is God? Theologians say same thing!
We're all connected, we just don't see it.
You are God manifest in human form. You are perfection.
We are another way in which the universe is becoming conscious of itself.
All power is from withing and is therefore under our own control.
- Robert Collier
Most come from dysfunctional homes. That's called so what. The real what is what are you going to do now?
You are the designer of your destiny. The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is whatever you choose.
Begin where you are. Think and generate within yourself a tone of happiness and the universe will respond.
Break free from hereditary patterns, cultural pattens, etc.
Whether you think you can or you can't, either way, you are right.
- Henry Ford
The Secret to Life
You make your own purpose. The mission is the mission you give yourself.
If it ain't fun, don't do it. ;)
Inner happiness is the fuel of success.
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
- Joseph Campbell
Your bliss becomes contagious.
The last frontier is mind.
You are born to add value to this world, to simply be the best you can be. Every single thing you've been through, encountered is to prepare you for this moment right now. Imagine what you will do from this day forward from what you now know! How will you seize the moment?
Who you are, what you do, begins right now.
The moment you begin to think properly, the something that is within you this power within you that is greater than the world, it will begin to emerge it will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you let it.
