Do you acknowledge...?

Question

"Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you're complain about, you've attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to be something that you hate to hear. You're going to immediately say, "I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't attract this particular client who gives me a hard time. I didn't particularly attract the debt." And I'm here to be a little in your face and to say, yes you did attract it. This is one of the hardest concepts to get, but once you've accepted it, it's life transforming."

"Most of us attract by default. We just think that we don't have any control over it. Our thoughts and feelings are on autopilot, and so everything is brought to us by default."

"Now if this is your first time to hear this, it may feel like, "Oh, I have to monitor my thoughts? This is going to be a lot of work." It will seem like that at first, but that's where the fun begins."-- "The Secret, by: Rohnda Byrne."

It's been two weeks since I purchased and read the whole book and watched the movie. And I am seeing results and it is so amazing, my life these past two weeks have been perfect. All the positive situations and people are coming into my life. And every time I meditate I feel renewed. I even tried to focus on small things like, coffee and shakes, and by the next day someone buys me coffee or a shake, it's awesome.I live in the city and parking is not as difficult anymore, I would find a parking spot right away.

I remember the other day I was driving home from school and I was on the highway, and noticed their was rush hour traffic ahead, so I focused on an ambulance to come so that I could get home faster, and within like 10 minutes an ambulance came out of no where right behind me, all I did was pull to the side and followed the ambulance, the traffic disappeared and I was home in 20 minutes as suppose to the usual 45 minutes. This stuff really works,Thank God for this law She created

Answer 1

sounds like a plan to me

Answer 2

That's the secret's philosophy, I don't believe that I attract all that finds me.... Some times it is God's testing times of me, and my thoughts are mostly positive.... I treat people very well to have people treat me well back, but some people are so far gone that it doesn't matter how you treat them they will still act out...

Phillipians 4:8 Think about these things whatever is pure, lovely, nobel, etc.... The Bible has the answers to the secret and it isn't a secret...

Prov. The power of life and death are in the tongue....

James 3. the tongue is a powerful organ, comparable of a little rudder on a big boat...

Jesus said Matt 5-7 that our thoughts is where we first begin to sin, if we choose to dwell on them, the example he gave was lusting after a woman, if you did it in your head you are an adulterer.... Yes this is not new. We have to monitor our thoughts, but I cannot and will not accept that subconsciously I brought bad things upon myself...

Answer 3

I would prefer to entrust my life in God, versus, some middle east philosophy. Meditation is great for: relaxation, calming psychosomatic problems and helping one sleep.

How fatalistic a belief to think, we are incapable of thinking for our selves, developing from experience, our own self preservation instincts and acting upon them.

You certainly do not give man kind much credit. Granted what you are promoting may be a helpful crutch to get people started, however, to benefit truely, the person must toss the crutch away at some point to gorw further toward independence.

Answer 4

This is something i have came to terms with just last year. I have realized the people whom i have allowed in my life..have brought me down..so i weeded alot of them out of my life..I realize the way i seem to act in front of people..well wasnt really me..and i was attracting alot of unwanted attention..SOoo i changed...i am careful what i do or say and with the decisions i make..and so far life has been getting better and better for me with each passing day :) Great question!

Answer 5

I don't believe in 'the secret,' which has been a theory handed down for years, like 'karma' etc. What I do believe is that God has a plan for our lives & we live it out, He allows things to happen for many reasons...what we sow is what we reap, etc., and there are no accidents, everything is purposeful...and we choose...the attraction thing is just another way of saying, 'we reap, we sow..' God said it first. People just re-word it and sell it - God's word is free. ♥

Answer 6

Of course I acknowledge that! I have seen the movie The Secret, and I have seen the movie What the bleep do we know, and I own copies of both. I am also a fellow reader and fan of Neale Donald Walsch! *sm*

Answer 7

Yes, your not the only one we all are =) Remember we are all one, ALL! It may seem strange at first but things sink into play and the confusion or rather, dream like state, is only a manifestation too; ~ everything ~ will be fine. Peace.

Answer 8

That's something that I absolutely believe in. I believe that when we think about things, the universe responds in kind to bring us more of that thing, whether it be good or bad.

Answer 9

I just started this book about a week ago....we'll see how it goes. It has not been the "can't put it down" book for me so far.

Answer 10

yes....I hear you....put yourself in harms way and all that stuff....perhaps another category would be better for this....positive happy people achieve more in life than the negatives ones......lol
