The Secret (16 page)

To help myself become more aware, so I would remember to remember, I asked the Universe to give me a gentle nudge to bring me back to the present whenever my mind has taken over and is "having a party" at my expense.

That gentle nudge happens by me bumping myself or dropping something, a loud noise, or a siren or an alarm going off. All of these things are signals to me that my mind has taken off, and to come back to the present.

When I receive these signals I stop immediately and ask myself, "What am I thinking? What am I feeling? Am I aware?" And of course in the moment I do that, I am aware. The very moment you ask yourself if you aware, you are there. You are aware.

"The real secret of power is consciousness of power."

Charles Haanel

As you become aware of the power of The Secret, and begin to use it, all of your questions will be answered. As you begin to have a deeper understanding of the law of attraction you can start to make asking questions a habit, and as you do, you will receive the answer to each one. You can begin by using this book for that very purpose.

If you are seeking an answer or guidance on something in your life, ask the question, believe you will receive, and then open this book randomly. At the exact place where the pages fall open will be the guidance and answer you are seeking.

The truth is that the Universe has been answering you all of your life, but you cannot receive the answers unless you are aware. Be aware of everything around you, because you are receiving the answers to your questions in every moment of the day. The channels those answers can come through are unlimited. They could be delivered in the form of a newspaper headline that attracts your attention, or overhearing someone speaking, or a song on the radio, or signage on a truck passing by, or receiving a sudden inspiration. Remember to remember, and become aware!

I have found in my own life and in others' lives that we do not think well of ourselves or love ourselves completely. To not love ourselves can keep what we want from us. When we don't love ourselves, we are literally pushing things away from us.

Everything we want, whatever it may be, is motivated by love. It is to experience the feelings of love in having those things—youth, money, the perfect person, job, body, or health. To attract the things we love we must transmit love, and those things will appear immediately.

The catch is, to transmit the highest frequency of love, you must love yourself, and that can be difficult for many.

If you focus on the outside and what you see now, you may trip yourself up, because what you see and feel about you now is the result of what you used to think. If you don't love you, the person you see now is likely to be full of faults that you have found in yourself.

To love yourself fully, you must focus on a new dimension of You. You must focus on the presence inside of You. Take a moment and sit still. Focus on feeling the life presence inside you. As you focus on the presence within, it will begin to reveal itself to You. It is a feeling of pure love and bliss, and it is perfection. That presence is the perfection of You. That presence is the real You. As you focus on that presence, as you feel, love, and praise that presence, you will love yourself fully, quite possibly for the first time in your life.

Any time you look at yourself with critical eyes, switch your focus immediately to the presence within, and its perfection will reveal itself to You. As you do this, all imperfections that have manifested in your life will dissolve, because imperfections cannot exist in the light of this presence. Whether you want to regain perfect eyesight, dissolve disease and restore well-being, turn poverty into abundance, reverse aging and degeneration, or eradicate any negativity, focus on and love the presence within you and perfection will manifest.

"The absolute truth is that the ‘I' is perfect and complete; the real ‘I' is spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease."

Charles Haanel

NEALE DONALD WALSCH

AUTHOR, INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER, AND SPIRITUAL MESSENGER

There is no blackboard in the sky on which God has written your purpose, your mission in life.

There's no blackboard in the sky that says, "Neale Donald Walsch. Handsome guy who lived in the first part of the twenty-first century, who…" And then there's a blank. And all I have to do to really understand what I'm doing here, why I'm here, is to find that blackboard and find out what God really has in mind for me. But the blackboard doesn't exist.

So your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself. Your life will be what you create it as, and no one will stand in judgment of it, now or ever.

You get to fill the blackboard of your life with whatever you want. If you have filled it in with baggage from the past, wipe it clean. Erase everything from the past that does not serve you, and be grateful it brought you to this place now, and to a new beginning. You have a clean slate, and you can start over—right here, right now. Find your joy and live it!

JACK CANFIELD

It took a lot of years for me to get this point, because I grew up very much with this idea that there was something I was supposed to do, and if I wasn't doing it, God wouldn't be happy with me.

When I really understood that my primary aim was to feel and experience joy, then I began to do only those things which brought me joy. I have a saying: "If it ain't fun, don't do it!"

NEALE DONALD WALSCH

Joy, love, freedom, happiness, laughter. That's what it is. And if you just experience joy sitting there and meditating for an hour, by golly, do that. If you experience joy eating a salami sandwich, then do that!

JACK CANFIELD

When I pet my cat I'm in a state of joy. When I walk in nature

I'm in a state of joy. So I want to constantly put myself in that state, and when I do, then all I have to do is have the intention of what I want, and what I want manifests.

Do the things that you love and that bring you joy. If you don't know what brings you joy, ask the question, "What is my joy?" And as you find it and commit yourself to it, to joy, the law of attraction will pour an avalanche of joyful things, people, circumstances, events and opportunities into your life, all because you are radiating joy.

DR. JOHN HAGELIN

So inner happiness actually is the fuel of success.

Be happy now. Feel good now. That's the only thing you have to do. If that's the only thing you get from reading this book, then you have received the greatest part of The Secret.

DR. JOHN GRAY

Anything that makes you feel good is always going to be drawing in more.

You are reading this book right now. It's you that drew this into your life, and it's your choice whether you want to take it and utilize it, if it feels good. If it doesn't feel good, then let it go. Find something that feels good, that resonates with your heart.

The knowledge of The Secret is being given to you, and what you do with it is entirely in your hands. Whatever you choose for You is right. Whether you choose to use it, or whether you choose not to use it, you get to choose.

The freedom of choice is yours.

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."

Joseph Campbell

LISA NICHOLS

When you follow your bliss you live in a constant space of joy. You open yourself to the abundance of the Universe. You're excited to share your life with those you love, and your excitement, your passion, your bliss become contagious.

DR. JOE VITALE

That's what I'm doing almost all the time—following my excitement, my passion, my enthusiasm—and I'm doing it throughout my day.

BOB PROCTOR

Enjoy life, because life is phenomenal! It's a magnificent trip!

MARIE DIAMOND

You will live in a different reality, a different life. And people will look at you and say, "What do you do different from me?" Well, the only thing that is different is that you work with The Secret.

MORRIS GOODMAN

And then you can do and have and be things that people once said that's impossible for you to do and have and be.

DR. FRED ALAN WOLF

We're really now moving into a new era. It's the era where the last frontier is not space, as "Star Trek" would say, but it's going to be Mind.

DR. JOHN HAGELIN

I see a future of unbounded potential, unbounded possibilities.

Remember we're using, at most, 5 percent of the potential of the human mind. One hundred percent human potential is the result of proper education. So imagine a world where people are using their full mental and emotional potential. We could go anywhere. We could do anything. Achieve anything.

This time on our glorious planet is the most exciting time in history. We are going to see and experience the impossible becoming possible, in every field of human endeavor and on every subject. As we let go of all thoughts of limitation, and know that we are unlimited, we will experience the limitless magnificence of humankind, expressed through sport, health, art, technology, science, and every single field of creation.

Embrace Your Magnificence

BOB PROCTOR

See yourself with the good that you desire. Every religious book tells us that, every great book on philosophy, every great leader, all the avatars who have ever lived. Go back and study the wise ones. Many of them have been presented to you in this book. They all understood one thing. They understood The Secret. Now you understand it. And the more you use it, the more you'll understand it.

The Secret is within you. The more you use the power within you, the more you will draw it to you. You will reach a point where you won't need to practice anymore, because you will Be the power, you will be the perfection, you will Be the wisdom, you will Be the intelligence, you will Be the love, you will Be the joy.

LISA NICHOLS

You've come to this juncture in your life, merely because something in you kept saying, "You deserve to be happy." You were born to add something, to add value to this world. To simply be something, bigger and better than you were yesterday.

Every single thing you've been through, every single moment that you've come through, were to all prepare you for this moment right now. Imagine what you can do from this day forward with what you now know. Now you get that you are the creator of your destiny. So how much more do you get to do? How much more do you get to be? How many more people do you get to bless, simply by your mere existence? What will you do with the moment? How will you seize the moment? No one else can dance your dance, no one else can sing your song, no one else can write your story. Who you are, what you do, begins right now!

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life. Regardless of how young or old you think you might be. The moment you begin to "think properly," this something that's within you, this power within you that's greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you.

It will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it. Now that is what I know, for sure.

The earth turns on its orbit for You. The oceans ebb and flow for You. The birds sing for You. The sun rises and it sets for You. The stars come out for You. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there, for You. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without You. No matter who you thought you were, now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life. And now you know The Secret.

May the joy be with you!

"The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
