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.
