… to The Art of Living “The Secret”!

This site will help you begin to make conscious decisions for what happens in your life. This is a personal development site that will assist you in not only understanding where you are, but how you got there and more importantly how to move forward.

If you have seen THE SECRET movie or heard of Law of Attraction by some other means and don’t feel you are utilizing those principles to their greatest potential in your life, this very well could be the next step for you. Here you will learn how to “clean up your vibration” so that you are able to allow the abundance that is your birthright.

Here are some of the topics you will see covered here:

  • What is law of attraction? Is it just another twist on “positive thinking”?
    (Here is a hint. The answer is “No. It’s not.”)
  • Will I have to do more to have more?
  • How do I go about attracting / repairing my relationship?
  • How to win the Money Game.
  • Motivation or Inspiration?
  • What about the negative people in my Life? Are they holding me back?
  • What does vibration mean and how can I tell what I am vibrating?

Many more topics will be added as we go on… and that’s enough for now.

Let’s get going!

Dear Madam,

I happened to know about the secret a few years ago..but I didn’t pay much attention to it until I found out what came to me after I incidentally wished for something..
I met my cousin yesterday mentioning about the LOA that she’s been working on, and I begun to seek for the secret movie again on my CD library.

Now I have a question about this LOA, if the universe doesn’t care about what we want or what we don’t want, then will it be possible to wish in reverse?, say..in order to have a big house..then I will wish “I don’t want a big house” instead of saying “I want a big house”, will the universe react for the wish..and lead to the possession of that big house..??

I am waiting for your answer…thank you.

Regards,
Ronny

Hi all. I believe that we should all keep life simple. Care for each other. Treat those as we wish to be treated ourselves. One thing I did discover in many posts on here, is that everyone does tend to use the law of attraction principle for their own needs and wants. Maybe the world would be a better place if we all didn’t want so much. People want money, a new house, a great car etc… The law of attraction is just a simple law of the universe amongst many other laws and theories about life and the one big question. The simple answer is we just do not know, and using this law in order to feed our desires is just a reflection on how materialistic we have all become. Be it health issues, financial issues, or even cosmetic issues, wouldn’t it be easier to accept life and not demand to much from it, we are all the same, we are all human, let’s forget about the house you need, or the better car, and think about life in a much simpler way. I really don’t think children in Africa will get food if they simply want it, but this is where the law of attraction really should be helpful, and not for our own greed.

Pat Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 11:45 am

Ronny,

You are correct – the universe doesn’t care about what we want or don’t want. The universe delivers what you are a vibrational match to. And vibration is not based on words.

So, you can say with your words (for example) “I am rich” but if you don’t FEEL rich, that is an indication that you don’t really believe it and therefore, the universe will not deliver to you riches. It will only deliver wealth to the degree that you are a vibration to it.

That is what is wrong with diets – people take all of these actions – diets, starving themselves, etc only to continue to be overweight because they are FEELING overweight and until they can begin to FEEL what they want to look like, they will continue to have weight problems. (This is oversimplified in my explanation, but you get the idea.)

So, if you want to attract a big house, you have to feel like you already have a big house. And when you can feel like you already have a big house – in fact, so much so that the big house doesn’t even have to show up for you to be happy – they big house will show up! (It’s kind of ironic, in that way!) :)

This is a great article about what I am speaking of regarding “words”:
http://www.lawofattractionbook.com/articles.aspx?id=298

Most people try too hard at all of this. “Life is supposed to be fun.” (Abraham-Hicks)

Go have fun and you will attract everything you desire!

Pat Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 11:58 am

Mark,

Everyone has the opportunity to attract whatever they want. And if you want a simple life, you can have a simple life.

There is nothing wrong with materialism. It is materialism that makes our economy grow, which allows for everyone to have the opportunities they desire.

There is no virtue in poverty. In other words, some cultures and religions teach that it is sinful to have possessions. And that when you have something – someone else goes without. That is not how it works at all.

There is no such thing as “greed”.

The children in Africa are living the life they “came here” to live (choices their inner being made) and it is not up to us to question how they live. And at any time, they have the free will to “allow” more abundance into their lives.

If you look at many of the leaders in the USA, most of them came from poverty conditions and set about to change how they felt about their circumstances and changed their lives.

Here is an excerpt from Abraham-Hicks that you might find interesting:

Greedy vs. Needy?

…if you have the ability to define it as a desire, this time/space reality, in which you are focused, has the ability to yield it to you… Greedy vs. Needy?

Guest: I’m trying to understand greed. There are all kinds of statistics that are batted around about 5% of the population of the world use 98% of the world’s resources…

Abraham: Here’s the thing. We would quarrel with it a little bit, but let’s accept that it’s an accurate statistic. You’re really going to like this: If 6% of the population were wanting to receive like 5% does, then the resources would expand to accommodate 6%. If 10% of them wanted to receive like the 5% does, the resources would expand to accommodate 10%. If 100% of the population of your planet wanted to live like the 5% have already decided that they do — the resources of your planet would expand to accommodate 100%.

So it isn’t that the 5% are squandering the resources. It’s that they are asking for what they want — and are getting it. And the other 95% are belly aching about it, and holding themselves not in the receiving mode, and, therefore — not creating it. There are enough resources for everyone to have everything that they want.

Guest: So, there is really no such thing as greed?

Abraham: Most people would define greed as taking more than I need, or getting more than my fair share. And we would say to you, this is a Universe that has infinite resources. (People quarrel with that, but it is our promise to you that if you have the ability to define it as a desire, this time/space reality, in which you are focused, has the ability to yield it to you, no exceptions.)

Now, whether you’re talking about money or something else, here’s what’s at the basis of the shortage thinking: Most people have this distorted view that there’s just one pile that’s being divvied out. And if I, this rich old bugger, go with my big dump trucks and I carry away a great big piece of the pile, then others who show up with their wheelbarrows or tea cups will be deprived of what they would have gotten, because the pile would, after all, be drastically diminished by the hoarding that I have done from my greedy perspective.

And the reason that we wanted to put it in that dramatic way is because all of that is such hogwash. When you ask it is always given! But, as you do not allow yourself to receive, nobody else gets it.

When you think about physical Well-being, do you ever say “I’ve been healthy for so long, I think I’ll be sick for a few years to let other people be well?” You understand the resources that you would call clarity are yours, or not, but you don’t say, “Oh, I’ve been so confused today, there must be a really smart person running around here somewhere.”

The only thing that ever holds anyone apart from something that they want, is that they are choosing to focus upon the lack of what they want, and therefore they are a vibrational match to the lack of what they want — and therefore that is their reality, or that is their creation.

Here you are, on the same planet that you’ve been on for more years than you have the ability to count. And just in the last 400 years, look at the difference in your economy. And it’s the same exact planet. Nobody has been trucking in or piping in any resources. There are not more resources present today. You are just vibrationally lining up with the utilization of them.

And, oh, this planet’s ability to yield to you: you have not even scratched the surface of it. It is a continually replenishing environment. And you would never be able to get your planet imbalanced by utilizing more of its resources than it could produce. It just cannot happen.

So we would go back to your earlier question and say to you, greed is a non-issue because it is an impossibility. It is not possible for someone to get more than their fair share

Hi pat

Thanks for the email. I understand totally in the metaphysical idea that we are all entitled and can all have what we want. My worries aren’t about being greedy as such, or about taking more than we deserve incase it causes others to have less. I am just more concerned in the nature of our society at the moment. I have noticed that most comments here tend to lean towards wanting and needing. I do prefer to look at eastern philosophies and I try to want less, to not attach meaning to things as much. In doing this we release so much tension and then concentrate on what is more important, such as family and friends and caring for our world rather than wanting so much from it. Surely is is a better idea to keep lifes needs and wants simple, and in simplifying our lives, living in the present, focusing on the small things and going with the flow, then what we need will find us.

Pat Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Mark,

The good news is: Everyone gets to decide what is a “better idea”. If it feels good to you to believe in and practice simplicity, then that’s the “best idea” for you.

Everyone gets to decide what is best for themselves.

There is nothing to be concerned about – all is well! :)

When you look closely at your words they reveal what is happening. Everything anyone “wishes” for is a fantasy-it is NOT what you truly “LOVE”. To every fantasy is a nightmare attached-period. What EVERYONE fails to realize, is everyone is manifesting the life the LOVE according to YOUR hierarchy of values-PERFECTLY! The “SECRET”? Was NOT even spoken of on the production-Bob Proctor was NOT part of the original development team for that project-he, along with a few other famous names were brought in last minute to turn a scientific “time-capsule” project and turned into a money-making deal by the producer. When you ask one of the main persons recorded for TWELVE HOURS and had only 8 minutes in the film, HE said they did not even reveal “the secret”. What you think about is what you bring about is NOT a secrt, and not entirely true-it has ONE main compenent left out: what you are emotionally CHARGED about is what you think about is what you bring about.
If money was important to most, you would all have it-period! You would do whatever it takes to make, keep, invest, have more-we all know people like this-want to know a REAL secret? How did i, with the “seven area of life” (family, physical, financial, spiritual, social, mental, vocational) have money at the BOTTOM of my value system, make millions in a short period of time starting from ZERO? That is a secret you all might wish to learn! Our value systems never change in our lifetimes either-they were determined by our “voids” in our childhood. Universal Laws are quite simple and profound once you see them-they are working in your life everyday! Prosperous regards, Dr. Mike

Pat Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 8:03 pm

Mike,

There are clues that can be surmised by listening to what people say because quite often they speak out loud how they feel.

The folks that were included in the film “The Secret” were hand-picked by Prime Productions, based on research as to who already was in the marketplace that was teaching the principles of law of attraction. Each teacher in the film was made aware that it was going to be a big event and they chose to be a part of it.

As for the main components that were left out? What was left out were (2) things:

1) How our Inner Being works
2) How vibration works

(Those 2 components were also edited out of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, so even that original book about law of attraction was lacking.)

Each teacher has based their teachings on what they have experienced, as they have come to know it, which may or may not be a “match” for someone else and how they are going to learn it.

Rhonda Byrne is going to release her new book The Power on August 17. It is said that The Power is the book Rhonda Byrne was inspired to write after answering several thousands of letters from readers of The Secret. I hope it is good. I am really looking forward to it!

Dr. Mike Fitzpatrick Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 10:49 pm

my comments were simply repeating what one of the main people who was one of the 12 persons told me about the project-his words so to speak-he will also tell you that “what you want” is a fantasy and you NEVER get what you “want”. What you “love” is what you get and attract to you-besides, EVERYONE USES THE “SECRET” or law of attraction EVERY day of their lives! Everyone is already manifesting everything that is according to their values-period!

As i said-i made 8 million dollars in 5 years time starting from zer0-i discovered the “Secret” by accident-anyone can do what i did when you learn what i did-in the end, talk is cheap and checks don’t lie. DMF

steve Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 8:41 am

I have watched the secret a few times, and have read many books on this subject, and there are things that have happened in my life that has led me to believe that ‘sometimes’, the law of attraction might be true.
However the problem i have with it is that, nice innocent people get hurt eveyday buy vile sub human beings, and they did not attract these things to happen to them.
No matter how hard a starving mother wants her starving child to be fed in a famine, there is no food in the country and the child most likely will die….the mother didn’t attract that.
I dunno i want to beleive…

Pat Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 11:35 am

Steve,

The law of attraction is “true” all the time because everything is vibration.

In order to understand the basics of law of attraction, which would answer your question, I suggest reading the Abraham-Hicks material.

steve Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 11:50 am

Pat,

thank you.

I have read some of his material and others.
Even at a sub particle level (ring theory), i do believe in ‘vibrations’.
I just ‘wish’, i could get a little bit of confirmation in my life.
Its hard to have ‘faith’ in something.

Mark Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 9:33 pm

I’ve only recently heard of the Secret…I’m in a bit of a rut job and relationship wise…Is it wrong for me to want to fix these using the Secret?

Part of me feels like I’m wanting too much, and that this is the reason why things arent working…or maybe i just need to be more patient…The other part of me feels wrong for ‘using’ the secret/LOA like this..

I’m guessing this is normal?

Pat Friday, August 13, 2010 at 7:11 am

Mark,

You are “using” the secret/LOA now. In other words, you attracted the job you have now and the relationship you have now. :)

And there is nothing wrong with wanting things to be different. In fact, the meaning of life is JOY. If you are not feeling that, it is no wonder you are wanting things to be different.

The key is to “line up vibrationally” with what it is you want now. If you are feeling undeserving (of wanting too much) or impatient (that it is not coming), you are not a vibrational match to it coming.

Have you read any of the Abraham-Hicks material? It is soothing, solid information that will tell you exactly how law of attraction works, so you can better “use” it to get more of what you want – and less of what you don’t want. :)

Some times a person won’t understand every thing in its life until there will be something or someone who will teach the person. This one looks great and I believe that I need this one. Thanks

Mark Monday, August 16, 2010 at 7:58 am

Hi Pat

Yeah..I get what you’re saying… :)

I haven’t read any of the abraham-hicks material, but I will do :)

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes

The Power in Me Monday, August 16, 2010 at 2:06 pm

Tomorrow -the 17th- Rhonda Byrnes book The Power is being released! I am so excited:)

steve Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 11:16 am

Rhonda does seem to be attracting wealth to herself with her books, marketing and ability to sell an idea.
Law of attraction is working fo her…..its all seems to be very tony robbins.
