Secret

Shhhhh. Listen very carefully. This is top secret, not many are being trusted with this information, but we have been watching you and we believe that you can handle it… you can handle it right???

Ready??

Are you sure???

Ok, here it is…

You know The secret??? The one with on TV, at the book stores, from that lady in Australia???

It’s not a secret… It has been around forever. The first time it was introduced to the populace was through Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” published back in 1937. Seth talked about it through Jane Roberts in the 70s and Jerry and Esther Hicks reintroduced it with the teachings of Abraham. It is talked about in quantum physics. Yes, quantum physics… you know??? Einstein… And it is brought up in churches all around the world, you have heard of it,... the power of prayer, yeah...

I love the new buzz around the law of attraction. Everyone has discovered the Secret and with it they have the key to open the up the treasures that the world holds.

Whoa!!!! Hold the Indiana Jones music and pay close attention…

IT’S NOT EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!!

You are not going to make a list a put it under your pillow and then get it…

Well, it is like that, but it’s not…. Hang on… Let’s create clarity!!

The law of attraction, which the Secret is based off of, says that you will get that which your heart desires…

NOPE!! Read again…

The Law of Attraction says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn… In English, if you please???

Like magnets, the law of attraction brings into your life what you are thinking, what you are talking about and mostly what you are feeling.

Everything you think about, you talk about, especially, everything you feel… manifests itself.

Like little grains suspended in the atmosphere, your thoughts, words and feelings attract what you are expressing.

I want a million dollars *BINK*

Not that kind of expression… your innermost expression, your emotions.

Whatever you end up saying or feeling ends up coming through in your manifestation.

So you must get clear about your thoughts, about your feelings. You must address them with integrity and clarity in order to bring about that which you really want. You can’t wish for John, down at the corner, to fall in love with you. The law of attraction says that everyone has free will and you may not impose upon them.

You also can’t pretend or try to fake out the law of attraction. Again, it is based on emotions as well. So if you are wishing that you had a better relationship with your coworker, you can’t be calling her a bitch behind her back. Because what will manifest are your feelings of animosity.

So, you have to get clear.

Clarity is achieved with honesty and integrity. Clarity is what leads you on a never ending path of self-discovery, because just as sure as you discover what you want, you discover why you wanted it and suddenly another desire is borne out of that new knowledge.

However, I must advise you. With great power comes great responsibility. No, it’s not just an interesting line from Spiderman; it is also a truism. If you are ready to create a world of riches and the fabulous life that you deserve, and you certainly deserve it, you must take responsibility for everything that has happened to you.

Everything??? Yes! Everything.

I am in an unhappy marriage. My husband doesn’t make me happy!!! Nope, you make yourself happy.

I hate my job, my boss hates me, that’s why I can’t be promoted, if I was I would be making so much more money!!! Nope, you have to take responsibility; you either work with your boss or move on elsewhere. You live the misery daily because you choose to.

My mother hates me; she treats me like if I was still a little child! Nope, you allow your mother to treat you so.

There are too many examples to list here and some that I myself don’t understand. However, I do know that in order to create and manifest and build that wonderful life you deserve, you have to be empowered and to be empowered, you have to take responsibility and to take responsibility, you must look at yourself honestly and see why you did what you did and where you deviated from the path you had dreamed for yourself.

Well, I don’t believe in the law of attraction, Claudia.

That’s ok. The law of attraction does not require that you believe in it. The law of attraction can be seen at work all over the world, subtle and discreet way. Have you ever spent all morning thinking about a person and end up running into them or they call you that morning??? Law of attraction in action!!! Unbeknown to its users, the law of attraction has been around forever. This means that prayer, wishing in front of a well, and rubbing the Buddha’s belly when you walk past it, yep, it’s all connected.

If you were to make a chart of all religions and all methods of faith, you will realize that they all include some form of “faith” and believe in your thoughts and deeds.

Now, I am not here to lecture you in how to use the law of attraction or how to manifest, much less what you should be manifesting about.

I am here to tell you that this tremendously powerful tool has been around forever. No one recently discovered it. It is not a secret. People have had their prayers granted for millennia and it has been called by just about every other name that you can think of.

When the televangelist tells you that he has healed someone off the coast of Papua New Guinea, he is absolutely right. That is called concert manifestation. It is two people working through belief (read faith) and creating a result. The bible says “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." Matthew 18:15-20. The bible can be interpreted that where they are gathered physically, but people gather spiritually too. Just think of the emotions you felt and solidarity that 9/11 evoked. Think of the feelings the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti created in all of us. It spurred people into action and a new sense of nationalism was born in the United States and help has flocked to Haiti.


So, if all of us together, working together can create these moments, out of the emotions that we feel en masse, what can we create on an individual level? The possibilities are boundless.

Don’t believe me? I challenge you

This is a game that I played with my best friend years ago. And whenever someone is open to it, I always challenge them too. This is your chance.

On a piece of paper, write ten things you want. But write them in the present tense, as if they had already come to you.

Fold the paper put it in your wallet, in your purse, or whatever it is you take with you all the time.

When you have an extra few minutes, think about your paper; think about how your life will be changed when those ten wishes come true and how much you will enjoy them.

I guarantee you that in a year, half of your list will have come true and whatever didn’t come true, you ended up discovering you didn’t really want.

But, there is a trick, you have to believe. Don’t believe in me. Believe in the feelings and emotions that come up when you think about all your wishes having come true. They are the motor that will make your wishes come to you. You will have manifested them. Your prayers will have been answered. Nirvana within your reach.

Happy Manifesting!!
