Tap Into the Secret Behind “The Secret”

Tap into the Secret behind "The Secret"
Have you heard of the movie called "The Secret"? It’s about the Law of Attraction - a principle that states -what you focus on, you attract.
All the spiritual traditions, along with philosophers and scientists, recognize the power of thinking. "Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life", Ernest Holmes said. Or, "It is done unto you as you believe" as the Christian bible tells us. Or, "With our thoughts, we make our world" as Buddha said. There are many more examples.
Now, this principle, this "law" works just like other laws you are familiar with. It is impersonal. Take electricity for instance. The laws behind electricity always say yes - if you turn on our light switch - you get electricity that lights up your room. If you choose to cross wires incorrectly, you get electrocuted. There is no judgment by the law whether the purpose you are using electricity for is "good" or "bad." It is the same with the Law of Attraction.
What you think about you get. The law always says yes. And you know what’s really fun -you don’t even have to understand how it works! But you DO have to know who you are at your core and what you really love. There is a great poem by Mary Oliver called "Wild Geese" that talks about this. Here are a few lines:
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
So what I am talking about when I say the secret behind "The Secret"? Remembering your Essential Self - cracking open the hard veneer of a shell you’ve created to protect yourself, to "look good" - reconnecting with the magic of the unbounded Essential Self. Once you do this, the miraculous can occur. Things that seemed unattainable are suddenly within reach and your incredible capacities are unleashed. Once you do this, you can fully use the Law of Attraction to change your life.
