I mean no offense to people here, but I cannot hold it to myself any longer and would like to point out my own assessment.
I feel many HCF members like to slander the Laws of Attraction because it coincides with the New Age Movement. A few persons acted like robots, completely ignoring the DVD, or wishing the DVD was portraying what they wanted it to while they watched it, to put "the Secret" in bad limelight. Some persons hopped on as soon as possible and made very irrelevant points having nothing to do with the substance of content. Just because one of "the Secret" guests happen to be part of the New Age movement, in fact, she cannot invalidate the entire DVD. This person just happens to be as interested in reality creation too, have exclusively studied it, and wanted to offer her own intellectual opinions. If you dismissed "the Secret" just for that reason, then you're no different from passer-by pedestrians judging the intelligence levels of strangers from how they are dressed. Get into the meat of it first, and have a totally open mind, and finally, try not to confuse what you wish the DVD is portraying with what it really is portraying, okay? Just because someone may be spiritual, it doesn't protect him or her from becoming shallow over subjects and life in general. You wouldn't be any different from the new agers who impose that they are always right because they know certain "divine laws". You claim you are nothing like them because you already have prior knowledge of this behaivor. But aren't you, really? HCF members read an article or advice passed on about New Agers being egoistic, and then made a quick association with the whole shallow thinking like the reading suggested. But you'd just be repeating that thought when another new ager comes by. That doesn't qualify you from any shallow thinking at all, when you don't really know what shallow thinking is completely about. It is always of utmost importance to have a fair judgement. Anyways, the Laws of Attraction is actually not new and can be followed back to the 1920s, to books like "The Secret to Wealth". Over half a century, it's just finally started getting mainstream with public interests like that on Oprah, for instance. This is the result of something that works and have been accumulating over time behind the scene.

You donââ¬â¢t have to sell me on the secret. I agree with it and thought it was produced well. I think itââ¬â¢s important for people to have material and spiritual happiness. :)

I think we are Discussing it. Which if material is strong enough on its own it can withstand even negative discussions. I think some people have to pull apart things to see how they work. I know that its a fine line walking the road of Spiritualism/Materialism, but we all need to find out for ourselves what works or does not work for us. If there was one true path to be on, this world would be a better place.....Or would it? ;) Im sure if I had perfect intent on helping the world there would be people putting me down.................? Lets not lose our free will to discuss things. Get Boldened, help us understand better.....Be patient with some of us, as we are here to learn! :)

The scene is just as important as spirtual achievement, but it would be too costy and most of the audience whom are Americans, are only interested in fast results and techniques for material gain. One commenter on the scene was dismayed that it was deleted because it perfectly described the Laws of Attraction with physics in the alloted 7 minutes. Here is a link to the scene:I just watched this and it is Fantastic.... I would respectfully ask the members of HCF to view it if and when they have time. :) thanks Get boldened!

I'm beginning to find a little inconsistency with regards to the visualisation board and steps to manifesting in regards to the Secret - although one guest described my experience well....it seemed to have manifested quicker for him.
If you all recall, I made a wallpaper with my manifestations. Well.....all but 2 have come true so far, and it didn't occur when I had the image as a wallpaper, and I realised something about it. By persisting visualising the visualistion board as a wallpaper to my computer - it was as if I had 'reset' the manifestation everytime i looked at it. What happened, is that within a matter of a couple of weeks, nearly all manifested SINCE i removed the wallpaper from my computer. My computer died when I fried the motherboard installing a 320gb drive bought by my parent in laws.... when i got the HDD i thought 'cool - just manifested part of the computer - not the same, but oh well, I got something'. Not long after that is when I fried the motherboard. I was spitting bricks. In dismay and stress as I needed to get back on the net to organise plans for my flight to the USA, my parent in laws came to the rescue, and alas, decided to buy me a whole PC (without monitor/mouse etc..) So i got some RAM, Dual Core Pentium D, and a kick ass motherboard. I said - 'cool, wasn't the whole package, but its better than before'. At that moment, I realised only 512 meg of RAM was available when i had a 1 Gb on the motherboard. Spitting bricks again, I said 'fer f**s sake, what more is going on! Little did I realise, my old 512 RAM fried with the motherboard. So again, at my frustration I sent out the 'help me' signal, and wallah, a day or so later, we got a call from someone wanting to buy our car. Sold it, and got myself more RAM. Now.....to cut a long story short, because we sold the car, and I'm off to the USA in a few weeks, my in-laws are going to buy my wife a car when we're gone! So there's an update of a NEWer car, and a NEW computer. Others on there manifested too. So what I realised, is the same old story...if you resist - it persists. By continueing trying to manifest your desire, it resets and won't occur as quickly. What I found is that you need to get yourself in a state of mind to create, feel the enjoyment of wanting it - and then LET IT GO! Don't think about it anymore, that is when it comes into your life. PS. The Secret is a good door opener to new people, so I applaud its intentions. Regards

Lion, that was an interesting story about your computer. I agree that the Secret is a good door opener. I would recommend people to follow up the video with a book on the LOA for more detailed info.
The Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks is an excellent read. http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401912273/sr=1-1/qid=1171042019/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-0539031-8012642?ie=UTF8&s=books

The ââ¬Ësecretââ¬â¢ does cover spirituality but in naive concept and most would not understand the core of the message to this production. The core of the entire message is for gratitude, gratitude is the seed to all the universal laws, for what you are grateful of today will only grow tomorrow.
If you want a big flash car, why? what is your intention of owning such a vehicle, deep down in the core of your soul-personality, do you desire this car so that when you drive it, others envy you, others stop and look and become jealous and think ââ¬Åwhy does he have this, I shouldââ¬Â then the law of reflection hits you, because the energy of your egotistical mind-pattern comes back, because this is how you thought when you were at the traffic lights parked next to the man with the flash car, ââ¬Å I want that, I want to be himââ¬Â so now you are! Because you judged. So the law of attraction has given you the flash car but also the energy of why, and the spiritual message is a creation of negative intent. Every step you have taken throughout your life deserves gratitude, whether your father hit you, or a child bullied you, each person has a unique story and the essence of understanding the universal laws is that everything in your life right now is a manifestation of your gratitude to those experiences. So what if you have a dodgy 1970 ford, at least you have a car, so what if you only have $2 in the bank, so what if your job sucks! So do a billion others. The law of tolerance teaches us that the energy of action must have an effect, some call it karma, but the action in manifesting amplifies the intention, so if you react instead of respond, then you will only have to deal with that negative energy. So go withdraw that $2 out of your bank, buy yourself the paper and look for a better job, be specific with why and do not focus on the negative of your present employment because you will only attract another version of your current reality. It is imperative that you create some type of visual board, the one lion create did not work, why? The only way to change your mind-pattern is to balance the physical and non-physical senses, the eyes must tell the mind what the soul requires, and then the sprit creates the will to achieve those goals. It may sound complex but it is actually very simple once you begin to understand energy. If you reflect on the past as negative, you will keep attracting that energy, but if you are able to understand the purpose of ââ¬Ëwhyââ¬â¢ you will grow spiritually. Therefore spiritual awareness and material gain can both be achieved harmoniously. Negative feeds negative, positive feeds positive. Life is a wonderful journey and each day provides us with a new challenge that we did not have yesterday, each day is a blessing to embrace your child or your partner, each day should be lived like it is your last because one day it will be, and if you have not accepted this challenge you will be reborn with your negative baggage until you are ready to face all universal laws that give you the position of judge and jury of your own life.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...I had been trying the 'checks in the mail from unexpected sources' thing. To be honest, I didn't know if it would work or not, but I wanted to give it a chance, so I believed in it. That was a few weeks ago, and I had forgotten about it. Well today, imagine my surprise when I just got a check in the mail for a little under $50.00 from some class lawsuit that was settled about some kind of prescription drugs that the company had charged consumers too much for. I knew nothing of this lawsuit. Evidently, the court had ordered the information from the 10 largest retail pharmacies of who had gotten this medication, and I was one of them. Although, to tell you the truth, I don't remember ever getting this medication (of course, it is probably known by other names).
Anyway...even though it is not a fortune, it is a 'check in the mail from unexpected sources,' so I thought I'd share my story here.

DreamTime Wrote:...so I thought I'd share my story here. I'm going to share 4 things that I've experienced in the last few months: 1. I like testing my "powers" every now and then, hehe. :clap: When I first came across The Secret, I sat down at the table in the kitchen and was holding a small honey bear container, looking at the honey inside. I thought it was pretty -- brown/golden, translucent, kinda oozin' around inside the bottle. I started to think about The Secret and the power of my thoughts to change what I see around me -- and I started to think to myself "show me this works" and before I could even finish that sentence in my head... a Sue Bee honey commercial came on the tv. 2. I was in my car and almost to work and I started to think to myself that I wanted a parking space close to the front door. So for the next 2 miles I repeated "open parking space, open parking space" and low and behold when I got to work TWO spaces were waiting for me. The odds of that happening are astronomical, I thought! 3. For the past two Wednesdays, the G-Man has required eye surgery at our local hospital for cataracts. The Doc cleared out the cataracts, implanted a new lens and I got to use days off from the Family Medical Leave Act to take care of him. While he was hooked up to the heart/blood pressure monitor in the hospital I told him I was going to show him the power of the mind. His heart rate was 70, then 71, 72... then back to 70. I watched it for about a minute then told him to concentrate on a heartbeat BELOW 70. I said "think below 70, below 70" and immediately, within seconds, I watched the monitor go to 69, 68, 67, back up to 69! 4. I told the nurse in the hospital I can usually *feel* g-man's blood sugar level. She tested it in the hospital and I was off by 5 points. I just say to myself, "I'm going to get the blood sugar right" and usually I'm closer. icon_ohmcandle I'm always doing "experiments" like this, it's fun to me! |
