Delicate balance A lot of people really did not understand this book. The energy is so subtle that most people are not even in tune to that part of themselves. I do believe that creative and telepathic people have an easier time with this book than others. It's not about 'wishing' for things. You first of all have to be aware of what you really 'want'. Many people think they want to be wealthy, but that is not true. Most people are not even aware of what they really want. They allow society to dictate what's considered fortunate and not....and so they think "sure I want to be wealthy, who doesn't"? But in all probability it is not a true desire of theirs. Many people fear success and having what they really want. Another dimension of wanting is truly believing your own value, and unfortunately we live in a society where low self-esteem is rampant.... and if you don't believe you 'deserve' something, it's not going to come your way no matter how much you may want it. But there are a couple of things that come to mind that back up this book. One of them is scientific discoveries. Often people who 'discover' things will say, that they have pondered this thing for many years and then one day "Eureka!" it just 'comes to them'...just like that 'out of the blue'. That's the energy this book refers to. It's a very light and delicate energy, and it does respond to mans real desires. In regards to believing that everyone wants what society dictates, think of people who want to lose maybe 10 or 20 pounds and have in their power to do so. But for some reason, they hold onto the weight for years and years and years. This is in part because they 'think' they 'want' to lose weight. But it's not true, if they really wanted to they could. But subconsciously they 'fear' the consequences of achieving this goal MORE THAN they actually 'want' to achieve this goal. And that is true for all things you think you desire. It is this fear that blocks their desires. What manifests itself in life is your most prominent feeling. Because this energy is so subtle and specific and downright HONEST it is in fact very difficult to get in tuned with it. But if you can and do so, you will get everything your heart desires. It is very important to be clear and honest about what YOU really want, not what you think you should want! And certainly it cannot be tainted by any negative feelings such as fear, revenge, arrogance etc.
Right off the stable floor I came into contact with this book when a friend received it and became an instant disciple. I say that because she became almost transfixed with trying to live "the secret" in all aspects of her life. The result was that after one year, she was just as frustrated and unhappy but now was heavily into blaming herself for "creating negativity" and other such nonsense.
I do think that some people in life are going to be happy and that some are going to be unhappy, irrespective of their specific circumstances. The film "Schindler's List" has a great scene in it where some Jews were relocated to a ghetto, and one man is seen comforting his wife saying "It could always be worse"...I think THAT is "The Secret" - to always look for the good in any situation and changing what you can to achieve happiness, while accepting that some things will be beyond your control.
The other downside to this book is the propensity it promotes to blame the victim. Sometimes people get sick, lose jobs, are raped or suffer from circumstances beyond their control. By the premise of this book, people like this are to be avoided and basically blamed for what happens to them. I would never want to be a part of any culture that blames a victim for what is beyond them.
All that said, someone far brighter than I am once wrote "There is no good or bad, only the heart that makes it so"...In other words, you will see the inherent good or bad in any situation, so keep it positive.
Dynamite. Built on the premise of "as a man thinks, so is he," this little but mighty book is filled with inspiration on the subjects of health, wealth, following our dreams, and more. It's diminutive size makes it portable and easy to access for "instant" gratification. The author's collection of wisdom, encouragement and guidance from many exceptional people provide a comprehensive coverage of it's subjects. One of my favorite passages is a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (on pg 57): "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step." While I don't quite agree with the theory that (all) disease is caused by negative thought, I do agree that there's a great deal we can do to heal ourselves and to be joyful regardless of our circumstances. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this book for yourself and for gifts. You will find yourself reading it over and over again. I would also recommend, if you missed reading GE0RGI0U TIN0'S masterpiece--FATES, go and read it. Fates (Amazon exclusive)
An easy read This book took me less than a week to read. The appearance of the book is wonderful. It is a good reminder on how the world works and the law of attractions. You should immediately feel good after reading this book, but the experience can be short-live if you don't take actions every day. The book can be a little repeatitive at times, though.
Are there others out there? Good book but many others out there that are better... but easy reading. This explains the Law of Attraction through interviews however, I recommend Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook because it gives examples, in the narrative and exercises to show you how to ask, believe and receive.
