Do you want to know how to use the tools of "The Secret" the Christian way - in a way that allows you to maintain your Christian religious beliefs and achieve your desires?  It's totally possible and rather simple, (I find Joel Osteen's best selling book, "Your Best Life Now" to be an excellent inspiration and a helpful tool for both Christians and spiritual (non-religious) believers - Joel Osteen is a senior pastor at a growing congregation in Houston, Texas, and has a show on national and international television networks).  

Notice how similar Osteen's concepts are to "The Secret's" and how it doesn't matter what religion you are, you can use these tools in your own way to create the life you desire!  Here is a brief paraphrasing of the seven steps that Osteen outlines in his book, "Your Best Life Now:"  read more »

James Arthur Ray, from "The Secret" said on the Oprah show, if you sit around and visualize, they'll come and take your furniture!  While John Demartini (from "The Secret" and Larry King Live) said, if you're really ill, start medical treatment while you explore alternatives, like thinking yourself well.  

What they mean, is yes, the Law of Attraction does work and our thoughts do create our reality, but the rest of the world is going to keep moving forward whether you stop to create your reality or not.  You are still working on other people's time tables - the people you pay your mortgage to, your own body's cells that need healing, your husband who wants a divorce, your pet that needs to see the vet, etc.  So sometimes you need to take significant actions in the world, while you pursue creating your own reality on the side.  read more »

Why do some success coaches, Secret teachers, self-help gurus, and the like, say to EXPECT YOUR DESIRE without a doubt, while others say to DESIRE WITH DETACHMENT - desire without need?  Many of the teachers of "The Secret" say to expect your desire with unwavering faith, while other self-help and spiritual masters like Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer say to desire with detachment, intend without needing.  It's just two different ways of looking at or doing virtually the same thing and getting similiar, if not equal, results.

What Are the Various Methods For Journaling to Manifest Desires, Create Reality, and Achieve Goals?

The movie, "The Secret," and its supporters, in addition to many other self-help gurus and modern psychologists encourage writing in a journal to help create the life you desire and guide you in setting and achieving your goals.  Journaling is a general process that can involve several different, specific techniques.  Your journaling can be as flexible or structured as you like.  One of the most important parts about journaling is that you enjoy the process and you experience the positive feelings about what you write, so that it feels as though you're actually experiencing what you're writing about.  You can use any or all of the journaling techniques; you may find one or two techniques that specifically work best for you.  read more »

Many people opperate under the assumption that they accurately perceive "reality". They think that what they see, touch, hear, smell, and taste are "real". In addition, they think that the things they perceive are somehow separate from what they think, feel, and believe "internally". As if there is a world "out there" and a separate world "in here". But, what if they are in fact the same thing. What if the world "out there" IS actually the world "in here".  read more »

The movie, "The Secret" (about the Law of Attraction) explains two highly effective methods for achieving goals and creating your own reality:  a Vision Board and Visualization.  What is the difference between a Vision Board (aka Visualization Board or Treasure Map) and Visualization?  While a Vision / Visualization Board is a unified visual compilation of your desires in the form of pictures, drawings, and words, the practice of Visualization takes place entirely in your mind and body as mental images and feelings.  Each method is separately effective for creating your reality, manifesting your desires, and achieving your goals, employing the Law of Attraction, or like attracts like, but the two methods definitely work best together.  read more »

I like the two quotes Lisa Nichols from "The Secret" r(ecently featured on the Oprah Show) frequently uses.  One of them is something like, "when you're thinking about something it's like you're placing an order to the universe" and the other one is, "the universe doesn't hear that you don't want it".  Although she doesn't go into details, this is how I understand her two quotes.

We are all in the unusual restaurant called 'the universe' where everyone and everything is both a customer and a server all at once, since everthing shares one energy, there are no separate entities.  This restaurant has an infinite menu that you can order from and when you're ready to order, all you have to do is focus your thoughts on what you want.  Someone in the restaurant (it might be someone you know, a stranger, or even yourself) will bring you your order when it is ready.   read more »

Oprah's Home Edition & "The Secret" - the Law of Attraction

This is a really cool movie, similiar in thought to "The Secret" but with actual actors and a plot incorporated into the theories about spirituality, God, quantum physics, and science.  There are many various interesting experts in "What the Bleep Do We Know" from the most spiritual to the most scientific of experts.  The movie is kind of a prequel to "The Secret" and also features a few of the same people in both movies (the quantum physics scientist, and another guy - I can't remember his name).  If you like "The Secret" you will likely enjoy "What the Bleep Do We Know" - it has more science and also more comedy, but presents the same theories in different ways.  I highly recommend both movies, and it doesn't feel like that much overlap even though they both support each other. 

What I like about Vision Boards (aka Visualization Boards and Treasure Maps):

The first step to manifesting whatever you desire in your life is probably the simplest, and maybe even the most fun, however many people seem to overlook it. So, here it is. The first step to manifesting anything you desire in your life is:

• GET ABSOLUTELY CLEAR ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT

I told you it was simple, and fun. Who doesn't like dreaming about all the things they want to have in their life (I use things here meaning anything you could possible want, relationships, spiritual wealth, physical health, monitary wealth, etc.).  read more »

The Universal Principle - Like Attracts Like

Whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not, whether you like it or not, you have created everything in your life.  You've done this through the Law of Attraction, or simply, what you put your focus on.  Whenever you're thinking at all, you're using the Law of Attraction.  Whether you're in debt, going through divorce, overweight, been cheated, or whether you're business is booming, your creativity is flowing, your love is blossoming - whatever you are experiencing or have ever experienced - you attracted into your life by what you focused on either consciously or subconsciously.  (If you focus on something consciously, but your subconscious disagrees - you'll likely end up with what your subconscious believes - one reason some people don't seem to understand or believe in the Law of Attraction.)  read more »

The Secret:  The Law of Attraction - the universal principle that like attracts like, or in Oprah's words "what you think about expands"

Example from the movie "The Secret":  The gay man who is treated horribly at his office job, is booed off stage as a comedian, and is accosted by hateful strangers wherever he walks.  Then he changes nothing more than his thoughts - starts thinking well about himself and expecting others around him to treat him well also.  Within weeks, he was no longer hassled by strangers, all the mean people he worked with had either transfered or left him alone, and he became popular as a comedian on stage.
