The Secret

The Secret reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The knowledge of this law has run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world's history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. All that they have ever accomplished or attained has been done in full accordance with this most powerful law.

Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance. http://www.thesecret.tv/

I have seen the movie and now reading the book. I have to admit that despite the fact that the whole secret thing is over advertised (which is usally a disadvantage to me), I still think that it's a great theory, and besides that, making people to look at their lives in a different way is such a good thing to do! Because mostly people are used to always blame circumstances/other people/God/unluck and so on if something bad happens, instead of taking all the responsability on themselves and say "yes, it's me who've made it all, and if I dont like it, I'm going to change it right now!" I kinda knew it before, but I guess, just need to be reminded of it over and over again.

I'm sure some of you guys have seen/read it too. So I wonder, has anyone of you put it into practice? what are the results?

 

I've tried reading it...my mom bought it last year.
But I think I have ADD, I just can't seem to get past the first chapter!

 

I have a book about the Law of Attraction, which is one of the three universal laws and the "strongest". I remember while I was reading it, I was thinking of a few personal past examples/experiences that made it make sense to me. I've never tried to do it though to attract any certain thing on purpose. I'm too lazy.

 

thats weird...Since I bought it, i cant stop reading it. it makes me feel so much better! for these past three days i'm always in a good mood, which doesnt happen to me all the time usally. lol

 

really? hmm well, i was wondering if anyone on here have the experience in putting in into practice. so i guess i'll be the first one then? lol

 

I've read it and I did watch the movie.

There is nothing new or "secret" about any of it.

Visualization can be a great tool.

 

right, nothing new. but still it's good to be reminded about the fact that all the responsability and power is on you. and there is smth more than visualization. Being grateful for what you already have is a great and necessary thing. and also controlling your thoughts...it leads a human being to the power and possibilities that he has, but totally forgot about. I'm sure so many people have never even thought about their lives that way.

 

I read the book and tried to believe in the lavv of attraction.
I can make it vvork for little things.
I alvvays find parking and stuff like that, but I can't make it vvork for bigger things. It's too difficult and these are times vvhere u can't allovv urself to be too faithfull, I guess.
Once I convinced myself that I vvould have vvon a car lol. But I guess I didn't believe enough.

For those vvho are interested, btvv, read "The lavv of attraction".
"The secret" is more superficial because it's made just to make ppl knovv and get interested.
"The lavv of attraction" is deeper. I must start to read that yet, but I really vvant to.

 

I vvas very excited vvhen I read it too, btvv. I think I cried also. It vvas crazy. But u knovv that I cry for everything, lol.

 

Yes....I think it just depends the person. Some of us were raised in and around this type of thinking. So I guess then it's just rather amusing when people get so jazzed about it because it's just second nature...part of the way things are for some. And because this is the way it is for some of us, we tend to have others in our lives who have the same thought processes and we forget sometimes that there are those who have never thought about things in this way. I guess that's rather arrogant on my part.

 

Bump

 

Being excited is a great thing! because it brings you even more of these good emotions and then these good emotions bring more good things in your life!
and yeah, you're right about believing. I think it's the hardest part. it's hard for us to truly believe that miracles can come true. and I think that when we will learn that, the law of attraction will work for big things too!

 

Yes, I tried to use the Law of Attraction to win $5,000 a week for life from Publisher's Clearing House after I mailed in the thingy. It did not work. :smt085

 

It made me cry too. But I cry about almost everything too. I'm an emotional girl.

 

I tryed the Law of attaction, and I have to say I was quite puzzled about the results. It doesent work on a particular person (Like I want michelle/Mike) or with money, but it may help you to find a job or the mate you wish. But how a old say goes...carefull with what you wish, cuz u may get it.

 

Read it, loved it and every now and then I actually remember to practice the LOA. lol

 

that's great! I wish there were more people like you!

 

I think I got my job and car using the law of attraction.
It works, when it's the right time. Now: the universe gives you what you want, if you ask for it. My question is: what if you don't know what you want? Do you think you can ask the universe to make you more determined?
Uhm....

 

Well that would mean that you are wanting more clarity in your life...so ask for it.

I think the biggest thing with it all is that it's important to be as specific as possible. So often people go around saying that they didn't get what they want but they may have actually gotten what they asked for...in a way that they did not realize.

As far as the comment on asking for a specific person...maybe you didn't truly want that person. Maybe it's more of a matter of that this person wouldn't be right for you too. Think about times when you may have really thought you wanted/needed to be with a particular person, wanted a particular job, etc only to find out later on that it was not the best thing for you and there was something/someone much better suited for you.

It goes back to the saying - be careful what you wish for.

 

That's the easisest thing to think about... was just wondering if it might be something that you could ask to the universe...
