The Secret of all time

I had one of those moments last weekend where all of a sudden something started to make a whole lot of sense.  There is a concept in The Secret that until last weekend I found to be a complete enigma.  I’m sure to many people it makes perfect sense, but I really struggled to get my head around the idea, and I’d pretty much written it off as a lot of nonsense.  

The idea is based in quantum physics (which goes some way to explaining why I didn’t understand it) and states that all things happen simultaneously.  So if I’m thinking about how I really want a donut, at the same time I am also buying the donut and eating the donut, because everything happens at the same time.  I know, right, it’s confusing?!

I think I’ve finally found a way to understand this.  On Saturday night, I asked Duncan if he was going to check the lotto numbers to see if he’d won anything, and he replied that he didn’t want to know, because if he didn’t know what the numbers were there was still a possibility that he might have won.

Suddenly, the cogs started turning in my brain, and everything made sense.  If everything happens simultaneously, then until Duncan checks the lotto numbers he could still have won because the numbers haven’t been drawn yet.  Even though it was 8.30 and the lotto draw takes place at 8, the draw hasn’t actually happened yet until we acknowledge that it’s taken place by checking the numbers.  Because everything happens simultaneously!

I know that my little explanation is probably just as confusing as the idea itself, but it makes sense to me.  I’ll tell you something else about this idea: once you do get your head around it, it really is quite a freaky concept.  There is no such thing as time....

I'm going to manifest myself a woolly mammoth

“I want you to set a goal that’s so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind, and you would know it’s only because of what I’ve taught you that you would have achieved this goal.”

The above comment was made by W. Clement Stone to one of the teachers in The Secret.  I was rather taken by this comment the first time I read it, and it immediately made me want to pick the biggest, most ludicrous idea I could think of, and try to make it happen.

It's nice to know that no matter how carried away I might get with an idea, there is always a part of my brain that stays firmly grounded in logic.  In this instance, the logical part of my brain pointed out that it would be a bad idea to jump straight into trying to manifest all the wildest things I could think of while knowing very little about The Secret and how it works.

I'll be honest and tell you that I don't always obey that logical voice inside my head, but on this occasion I'm really glad I did.  If I'd jumped straight in and started trying to manifest something epic while in the state of mind I was in prior to starting this project, I know without a doubt that it wouldn't have worked out for me.  To get to this point in my Secret project I've had to go through a major mind shift and drastically alter my thinking patterns.  It has not been an easy task.

I've managed to manifest my small object and I've successfully achieved the first of my goals.  Every day there are little things, like getting myself a parking space, that remind me The Secret is working.  I think, finally, I might have reached a point where I can start thinking up a massive goal that will, without a doubt, prove that the law of attraction exists.

The Secret to taking over the world

I know, I know, this blog post has been a long time coming.  It’s already seven days into the new month, which means this blog post should have been written seven days ago.  But better late than never, and just because I’m not vigilantly writing doesn’t mean I’m not still practising The Secret.

April ended with me still perfectly healthy, so I think it’s safe to say The Secret to Health was successful.  Even now, as we’re dealing with a very moody Mother Nature going through some major weather swings, I’m still feeling great.  Usually by now I’d be fighting off my first winter cold.

This month is all about The Secret to the World.  This brings with it some new Things to Achieve, mostly looking at how we can use the power of the law of attraction to benefit the world around us. 

One of the major ideas in this chapter is about not giving attention to things we don’t want.  Focussing on the negative, the things we don’t want, is something that happens far too often in this society, and I think news and current affairs media are partly to blame for this.  After all, it’s the bad news that sells the newspapers and gets the TV ratings.  While I agree that we need to be informed about world events, we definitely shouldn’t be dwelling on the negative.  Giving our attention to something will only attract more of it.

It was nice to see a break from this trend last Friday, when what felt like half the world tuned in to watch the royal wedding.  Hopefully, with so much global attention from all around the world, we will have attracted more reasons to celebrate.

My first Thing to Achieve for this month will be, “You have all the power.  Focus on everybody being in joy.  Focus on abundance of food.  Give your powerful thoughts to whatever is wanted.”  The idea behind this task is that if we are sending out good thoughts into the Universe, we are benefiting those around us, and attracting good things back to ourselves.  It’s a win-win situation.
