I recently watched this movie titled “The Secret”, in the past month or so. The Secret actually came to my attention some time in 2006 when it was launched in the U.S., and I’ve seen how it’s become a global phenomenon when I received an email from a friend in Singapore about this movie just the beginning of this year!

Although I finally watched the movie only after almost a year since it was released in US, I’ve got to say it’s a brilliant piece of movie production. The way they managed to illustrate the concepts and principles that are invisibly operating in life was done really nicely, with just enough information to evoke interest and “buzz”, but yet not enough to truly utilize them.

I especially liked the way they created the ripple effect of a specific thought attracting certain circumstances and conditions in a person’s life. It was certainly dramatized in the manner to create the visual impact, but overall, I find the movie well done in bringing attention of universal laws of life to the world.

What could be better about “The Secret”

The thing about The Secret is that it only creates awareness of the Law of Attraction. It brings to public attention on how the Law of Attraction can create our desired results in life. But it doesn’t share HOW and WHY the Law of Attraction works in greater depth.

As a result, there is a lot of misunderstanding about how the Law of Attraction works. Just watching the movie, The Secret, one would think that if we “thought” and “visualized” something long enough and hard enough without doing anything, it would magically manifest and appear in our life!

More than just One Universal Law

The Law of Attraction is merely one of the universal laws that operate in our world. In fact, the Law of Attraction is derived from the Law of Vibration.

There is also the Law of Cause and Effect, which states that every “effect” has a cause. The only question is if we know what the Original Cause is, and how we can use this Original Cause to create and manifest everything we desire in our life.

My View on the Secret Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is a great introduction into understanding more of the Universal Laws that govern our life here on planet earth. But like most things, the Law of Attraction doesn’t operate in isolation.

Understanding the Law of Attraction is merely the starting place into the discovery and understanding of the other Universal Laws. The Law of Attraction operates in together with other laws to create the results we experience in our life.

Actually using the Law of Attraction to create our desired results is to me more important than just knowing that it exists.

At the end of the day, what we want is the actual results and not just “knowing” about how to get the results, right? That brings us to the next question, how do we really apply these Universal Laws to create our desired results?

The Science of Getting Rich Course by Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield

I’ve recently been introduced to a Home Study Course by Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield on how one can actually utilize the “Secret” towards creating riches in our life. It’s aptly named “The Science of Getting Rich”, after the book it was based upon.

To find out more about the Home Study Course, click on the following link:

The Science of Getting Rich Home Study Course

The workbook and exercises in the Home Study Course are interesting, and definitely very useful in creating a wealth consciousness mind set.

That alone might be worth the cost of the Home Study Course, especially if it generates more wealth from application of the knowledge than what it costs to purchase The Science of Getting Rich!

I’m still going through the Home Study Course, and I’ll share more of my views on it in later posts. Especially on the ideas that I agree with, and the ideas that I don’t. It’s interesting how going through the workbook generates emotional agreement as well as conflicts. I’m able to observe myself going through these emotional moments, and do my best to work them out into something useful and productive.

Every Season Has Its Time

It’s my belief that everything in life happens for a reason, even though we may not understand the reasons for these events.

I’ve always desired (for as far back as I can remember) to live a purposeful and meaningful life, together with wealth in the form of emotional richness, spiritual satisfaction as well as material abundance.

There is a place for tangible, material wealth in my life, and perhaps this course came to me at the right time, at the right place, in my life. That could be the “Law of Attraction” working in my life, and together with other laws, it’s come to me at the right time of my life where I’m better able to fully understand and appreciate the knowledge contained in the Home Study Course.

Why do I believe it’s the right time?

It’s because I’ve actually read the book “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles a couple of times some time in 2005 ~ 2006. While I learnt from the original book, the Science of Getting Rich seminar goes into more detail that fleshes out the principles in the book.

Many things have occurred in my life since then, and I’m seeing the “invisible” behind this book with fresh eyes, personal experiences and deeper understanding. Especially since I started consciously and deliberately pursuing personal development and the raising of my conscious awareness some time in early to mid 2006.

With a different set of beliefs and perspective, I see the same things differently now than I did previously. It’s amazing what mental clarity and raising the level of my consciousness does for my perspective and experience of life. Simply amazing.

The best place to start is to begin at the beginning. I originally wrote a few articles on how we can use the power and natural ability of visualization to create our desired conditions in our life, but it seemed to be an abrupt start, with no link as to why this journal was started.

After a conversation with a friend, I realized that building a base knowledge, to create the foundation for using the principles, concepts and mind-tools that are available to us as conscious human beings is just as important as knowing how to use these tools themselves.

Just having knowledge of how to use the tools alone won’t bring us peace, purpose and fulfillment in our lives. It’s like teaching a person how to drive a car. But with no destination, clear purpose or direction, where is the person driving to? In the end, what is mostly likely to happen is that he or she just drives around aimlessly, hoping to find and stumble across something that can fill that void or give that sense of inner peace and soulful rest, a state of nirvana and bliss.

Which is unlikely unless the driver already knows the destination.

There are so many people awakening in this world, searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. Some people are even driven to desperation, despair and emotional turbulence in search of their life’s purpose. So many of us seek that which we somehow know to be true, that there is something for which we were created and born into this world to fulfill. As conscious, spiritually awakened or “soul aware” beings, we desire, crave even, that sense of sure direction and confidence of knowing and fulfilling our purpose.

To aid us in the fulfillment of our purpose, all of us are given abilities, talents, natural inclinations towards specific areas of work. And in order to use our abilities and tools wisely, we first require a direction and goal that we can move towards.

Our abilities are the tools we use to shape our lives.

Our abilities are only tools, or vehicles, that we use to shape our desired outcome. With a clear direction, a definite purpose, the use of our human abilities then becomes steady, sure in purpose, deliberate in practice, and we can be assured of success.

Darbright.com started essentially because of my studies and research into how men and women have become successful in the past, and in our present times.

It’s an interesting study because many of the ideas, principles and tools that the successful men and women today seem to use are the same tools and principles that have been used over the centuries. The basics are the same, and have lasted throughout time even till today.

I suppose the reason why these truths have not changed is because the nature and make-up of people has stayed the same, with only the external forms changing and improving as human society and inventions develop over time.

While the basics of these life changing principles are relatively simple and easy to intellectually understand, the practical application is much much harder, and requires one to undertake the journey of personal growth and development. And this is the reason why so many people who do know these principles and truths still aren’t as successful as they wish to be today.

That reminds me of a saying: “To know is to do.”

I’m personally testing these ideas and principles out, and trust me, it’s easier to read them for head knowledge than to practice them for real life results. However, in the practice of these principles, I’ve noticed changes and improvements for myself. While I’m not yet fully who I desire to be yet, it’s the direction that’s more important than the magnitude of the change. I know that over time, as I work on improving and developing myself, the magnitude of improvement will naturally get larger.

With so much marketing and buzz flying around about life changing information and secrets, it’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s not. Especially with so much marketing and special effects involved. The hype hardly lends itself to having the confidence that what is being said is true, and that’s a bit of a shame.

If you do want to experience real life results and real life changes, then continue reading and coming back to my journal where I’ll publish the things that I’ve researched about how we can change our lives for the better.

I’ve got to say though, it’s amazing how these principles work, and why the people who actually study them and practice them can have such amazing results. Financial Abundance, Inner Peace and Joy, Health and Fitness, and so much more.

And from what I understand, anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can use these principles for themselves to transform their lives.
